Get permission before publishing
Use work you are authorized to show and remove patient identifiers and confidential information. Your involvement alone does not automatically give you permission to publish every case. Training work should be labelled as training work, and supervised contributions should state your actual role.
Choose a coherent selection
Show a few relevant indications rather than every screenshot you have. Routine posterior work can demonstrate consistency; implant or removable examples can show awareness of different requirements. Include only cases you can explain accurately.
Use consistent technical views
Choose clean views with enough context to understand the design. Crop interface clutter only when it does not conceal material information about the example. Avoid edits that imply a different result, indication or level of finish.
Explain the decision, not a made-up outcome
Describe the supplied brief, the design stage and a meaningful review point. Discuss an actual revision when disclosure is allowed. Do not invent materials, patient results or turnaround times to make an example sound impressive.
Keep role and limits visible
Distinguish original design, QC review and team supervision. A CAD portfolio can show design ability, but cannot by itself prove clinical fit or final aesthetics. For remote work, add evidence of file handoff and clear communication when you are permitted to show it.
Annotate a portfolio view with verifiable information
Use this outline only when the information is documented and you have permission to disclose it. Leaving a field out is better than inventing a detail. A technical screenshot can show design form; a short annotation can explain your contribution and the evidence available.
| Field | Enter only what is established |
|---|---|
| Role | Original design, QC review or supervised contribution—your actual involvement. |
| Record and stage | What the view depicts and whether it is training, diagnostic, provisional or another documented stage. |
| Review question | One specific decision or uncertainty you can explain from the authorized work. |
| Revision | An actual permitted change and the instruction or feedback it addressed. |
| Handoff | The output or review record you genuinely prepared, without claiming unseen manufacturing or clinical results. |
Prepare a short reviewer walkthrough
Choose one example and explain the brief, your role and the view before discussing software tools. Show where the approved information came from and where you asked for clarification. If a revision is available and safe to disclose, explain why it changed rather than presenting it as a cosmetic before-and-after.
A portfolio review can also reveal missing evidence. If you cannot establish the material, outcome or production stage, say what the view actually shows. Use the same discipline when reviewing Pristine’s published CAD views: they are design examples, not a collection of invented patient stories.
