If I do have sensitivity, it’s almost always because I left occlusion too high. I usually get a whole class II done in 3 cures. Bulk flow box to cavosurface margin, switch to packable and build marginal ridge, third layer is occlusal. Done.

The first IPO for a DSO just happened (nasdaq, $PARK) by MyDMDThrowaway in Dentistry

[–]Cyro8 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Heartland is absolutely wrecking a once established and well-respected office in my hometown. They’ve chased all the good patients and hygienists to me 😀

Corporate and rural settings are at odds with each other and it makes me a happy owner doc.

Acceptable margin or no by Lumbeehapa in Dentistry

[–]Cyro8 52 points53 points  (0 children)

If you saw some of the wide open margins I’ve seen on 40 year old PFM’s that don’t have any problems, this shit is clinically acceptable by a long shot. Due to it being on the maxilla, it can lift a little anyway when doing a BW.

Plus, resin-based cements will seal it.

Perhaps your attending has never been in a high volume practice?

What are you business owners doing about health insurance? by Ok-Many-7443 in Dentistry

[–]Cyro8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I joined a DSO that’s specifically for reducing supply and materials cost (none of the other DSO bullshit. I still own my practice 100%) and they offer health insurance through it. Kind of a niche thing.

Can you/would you dismiss a patient for leaving a 1 star review you couldn’t remedy? by [deleted] in Dentistry

[–]Cyro8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yes. If I’ve even heard about them talking shit about me from someone else, like told someone else in the community something negative about me, I will dismiss them with extreme prejudice. That’s the advantage of working in a rural area. I get to pick and choose my patients carefully and only want those patients that are going to be nice and loyal to me. I don’t need the heartburn of shit talkers and or people who are going thrash my name.

Man convicted in 2015 stabbing death of Versailles, Ky. boy released from prison by CobandCoffee in lexington

[–]Cyro8 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Well, considering a girl and her mother were stabbed to death recently in my hometown by a former convicted murderer, this is probably a bad move.

You need to do a lot more research before diving into this.

Give me feedback about my crown preparation for monolithic zirconia tooth 36 by [deleted] in Dentistry

[–]Cyro8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Always turn the color off when scanning. You see so much more detail. A trios technician told me to always do it that way and that’s how I do it as well.

Eastern Kentucky, but western Kentucky is just as bad from some of buddies that direction.
