Crown prep
Started by lifeisgood
Nope, I was so tired I fell asleep. Plus i didn't want to block his light. I did wake up in time to have him show me the pre-filled cavity and what was left of my once mighty molar. Then i went back to sleep. 😴
Great dentist!

#2 can be a biznatch to get prepped for a crown. All of the second molars can be, for that matter. On the back side you pretty much just have to take a couple slices out of the tooth and trust you've got a usable surface. 🙂 Congrats on surviving your appointment. 😀
Which is why my recommended treatment is a #150 forceps...
i had a mini-argument with the dad about how he justifies charging upwards of 1500 for a root canal,but he thinks thats how much his time is worth,or some nonsense😱

I started my first maxillary molar endo yesterday on #15. 2 hours of sweat and tears later I FINALLY got four canals opened up to a #30 file. I place CaOH and temporized but probably would have needed ANOTHER 2 hours to take the endo to completion.
I may charge twice what your dad does just so I never have to do another one.
Four hours to obturate an upper molar? For your first one, that's not too shabby.I started my first maxillary molar endo yesterday on #15. 2 hours of sweat and tears later I FINALLY got four canals opened up to a #30 file. I place CaOH and temporized but probably would have needed ANOTHER 2 hours to take the endo to completion.

Oh ur Dad's and Endodontist? I was about to say the dentists that I shadowed charged pretty much $700-$900 for endo.
yeh,but he doesnt do the insurance thing for the most part,and doesnt accept medicaid/care,so he gets pts that actually willing to pay,for the most part,out of pocket. they do work with dental financing companies though...ummm carecredit and something else.

Was all this time spent on a typodont or some other mockup or was this with a patient?!?! That poor patient!!
2 hours is a short appointment in dental school.
