How to approach restorative dentistry stations
Restorative stations are about explaining findings, options and long-term maintenance without overselling. Practise comparing options honestly and covering cost, durability and upkeep.
Whatever the topic, the same habits earn marks: signpost what you will cover, listen, explain in plain words, offer real options, and check understanding. Our guide to the communication criteria shows how: ADC communication marking criteria, explained.
