I’m hunting for hands-on CE that makes us sculpt more accurate cusp–fossa pathways and anterior guidance, not just talk occlusion. Ideally small-group bench time under 5–8x magnification with PKT and a #7 carver — has anyone done a weekend like this recently that improved your wax-ups? I’ll travel if it truly tightens morphology and line-angle aesthetics.
Lee Culp’s weekend tightened my wax-ups under ‘5–8x’; PKT->#7 sequencing — spots fill fast in NC.
One thing that really tightened my cusp–fossa is under “5–8x” I lightly score the pathways with a #7 on the opposing first, then place cusp tips with PKT-2 so the wax follows those rails and avoids interferences. I’ve found 6x is the sweet spot — 8x slows me. Do you use a thin silicone palatal guide for anterior guidance or are you going freehand?
PTC’s Sculpture 2 in Lincoln is the most posterior-focused bench time I’ve found — small group, we ran 5–8x, strict PKT→#7 sequencing, and hours of cusp–fossa pathway reps. For anterior guidance aesthetics, I pair it with @PeterPizzi when he’s at Jensen/IDT. Details: https://www.ptcdental.com/training.
