about $900 at my school... I think. I don't deal with billing, the school handles that for us.

Sounds like he wanted to know what % of 2nd molars eventually end up getting crowned.

I have no idea.

are you asking about the percentage of 2nd molar that are crowned vs 1st molar?

This is what you get when physicians try to talk dentistry. 😉

I was always taught it was 0.72, but obviously the exact figure varies by state.
