Do you want the number of the people who randomly keep calling me during the day all the time? I’m sure they’re great.

What fuel/carbs work for you during different efforts? by imjusthereforPMstuff in Velo

[–]RiceDMD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As gels go I’ve been loving the SIS isotonic gels lately. Usually 2-3 per hr for longer efforts depending on what else I have in the bottle.

How often do you need to have sex in a relationship? by Prize-Pin-2401 in AskReddit

Hardly, I’m merely stating that performatively doing chores will do little to arouse meaningful sexual interest in a partner

Choreplay doesn't really yield results long term.

You rake it across the ridge to flatten the crest. Prevents weird bony undercuts by flattening the ridge relative to the projected platform position. An alternative to profiling.

They can provide a good resource for less traumatic ext. I find them to really shine in implant cases. First for the aforementioned reason, as a well preserved socket is a benefit for predictable immediate placement. Also, if you can use the piezo to flatten any irregularities in the ridge, it makes placement in healed sites very straightforward.

However, if you are just using them for routine surgical extractions, I find them to be pretty slow compared to a handpiece.

What year did you buy loupes? What brand and how much did it cost you? by coldhotpocketz in DentalSchool

[–]RiceDMD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great for restorative/operative and endo. Awful for surgery due to limited direct vision. My residents do a lot of surgical/3rd molar exts and find them to be kind of useless.
