There are 16 videos in this series ranging from 2 to nearly 13 minutes covering all the steps necessary to measure, choose pins for, mark, drill and pin a sectioned die model. It includes an introduction describing the criteria for choosing pins and introduces the ways to lay out the die model for proper pin placement. The use of the included Pinning Guide for choosing pins that are proportionate to the die is also outlined.

The segments can be viewed individually, easily paused or rewound and each segment progresses in logical steps. Important points are frequently detailed at the start of a step and most procedures are accompanied by clear reasons for proceeding in a particular way. It would be very easy to proceed through the measuring steps and then choose a drilling method and pin of choice to produce a properly pinned Pro-Model" by the end. Included are techniques for several pins, drilling devices and methods as well as advice for pinning atypical tooth relationships.
