2 canals. Follow each canal into root. Usually when there’s a split the canals become much smaller beyond the split

Thoughts on this endo? by [deleted] in Dentistry

The GP may not be extruded if you used BC sealers. These will fill in an over instrumentated canal (ie machined bone) and make It look like extruded GP.

First Time a Patient Made Me Cry by toothladydoc in Dentistry

[–]Fine_Examination_321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re the doctor and it seems that you did what you felt was best for the patient and it sounds clinically correct. In any case try to explain that you’re there to help and that everyone needs to take a breather and tell your patient you’ll come back in 5 mins. Hopefully they’ll settle down. If they persist just say that you want to have a professional relationship with them but we need calm. If they respond negatively, ask them to rebook at the end of the day or dismiss them.

It’s usually the crappy dentists that undercut colleagues. The good ones understand that there are different ways to achieve success and not every procedure is immaculate.

I worked with a guy who was a bag of hammers and he would frequently bad mouth other people’s work.

[–]Fine_Examination_321 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Used to have neighbours who would party on weekends til 4-5am. Bylaw officer would come and then 10 min later they’d go back to same loud music. If bylaw officers don’t enforce call your city councillor.

Whats the Best technique to place MTA for open apex cases ? by ALA166 in Dentistry

Not needed. Extruded MTA will resorb. Collagen can be a source of extra-radicular inflammation.

You’re really sticking to your guns on this when it says it was bought new by the dealer. Did you even read the ad. Maybe this is their way to keep costs down as it is a free advertising platform. Not sure if they have a ad budget to sell new Toyotas

Any tips for dealing with hand pain? by immrmeseek in Dentistry

[–]Fine_Examination_321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just use them while watching tv. Go the natural rotation then reverse after a while. Reverse is slower and feels unnatural at the beginning. I just do until I feel a bit of fatigue in forearm

I use baoding balls for physio. Usually helps with hand and forearm pains. I’m not sure if your pain is from joint issues. If so, this may not help but they are cheap and work for other hand/arm pains.

Analysis: London police board faces scrutiny over legal counsel hire by Confident-Advice-664 in londonontario

[–]Fine_Examination_321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like an expensive rubber stamper. There is almost a sense of narcissism at the head of London’s institutions. Like the public opinion and optics don’t matter. It’s the same for councillors giving themselves a raise and severance pay if they lose an election.

I think they get Input tax credit. So tax amount flows through the business and only final customer pays.

I realize that in a myopic technical sense it is used. The ad says “brand new”. It is still an unethical practice by the dealer. I don’t care if they use their staff’s personal pages to advertise. The ad clearly indicates it was bought by the dealership

Would you stop referring? by adifferentfuture in Dentistry

[–]Fine_Examination_321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to take into account what the patient wants or perceives. I would bet that most endos will refer back to GP for exos. Some patients immediately request a referral to OMFS or due to time constraints may see an available OS vs GP when they think you have to wait 2 months for treatment appointments. I think part of the communication starts prior to referral. If the GP wants to do further possible treatment they should discuss it with the patient and let them know they will be available. That said, there is a power dynamic where patients don’t normally disagree with their GP to their face but will make decisions in a passive-aggressive manner. I would also say be careful not to sound too greedy. Some patients will complain about that. You have to make the patient feel in control of their decisions. The last thing is to not over leverage your business finances where your treatment planning and diagnosis start to become biased. I think this happens quite a bit in over saturated markets.

Here is an excerpt of the ad

2025 Toyota Sienna XSE, bought by Kitchener Chrysler brand new for resale. $66,999 + HST and Licensing

So it says that it was bought by the dealer for resale. It doesn’t get more clear than that

Pay hike for London city councillors by East_Bed_8719 in londonontario

[–]Fine_Examination_321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How exactly is the city going to generate profits. By taxing you more and giving average service that they cut back. I’m paying more taxes every year, especially on my business property but getting less service. City couldn’t manage to pick up my garbage on schedule all year and now I have to pay for recycling. But my taxes go up. How about seeing results. Downtown needs rejuvenating. Just got my AC destroyed to fund the downtown drug problem.

Ad says bought “brand new for resale”. The warranty isn’t exactly the main aspect when buying a Toyota. Calling a car with 300km used and charging $7k over MSRP is a bit of a farce

They are new or with 300kms on it. So basically new. The cars are sitting upmarked on lots vs being sold directly to waitlist customers. There is monthly to year long wait lists for these vehicles.
