The process of the shaping is one of the most challenging , is the step that contain most of the errors so the clinician must know the most appropriate protocol for simplifying the shaping procedure in this video we are going to go through the step down technique which will be explained in the video.
Conclusions
The clinician must facilitate the process of the shaping using correct protocols , tools and techniques.
