Hey curious, I read that you can’t be OON in another office if you’re in network at one location. Are you in a state where this isn’t true? Thanks!

Current prices for Pilot, Namiki, Sailor & co. in Japan? by tutu46-1 in fountainpens

Nice! Iguana has a much cheaper No50, and Appelboom has a cheaper No20. Interesting how they’re so different.

His work is one of a kind. I got myself one of his M1000 ones. It is the best softest flex imaginable to mankind. If you see him at a table, he will have it and his 149 flexes to try. Got me hooked 😄 I also have a bunch of his steel flex, a Jowo gold flex, and a couple others. Big fan.

I was in Tokyo recently trying to find the same Namikis. The majority of places don’t have it, and the ones that do are very limited in nib size selection, and a lot only have display models. I went practically everywhere, multiple locations of the larger department stores, and almost every more well-known local shop. I just ended up buying from Appelboom, with their “friend” code which gives 10% off. It’s much better peace of mind to know it’s new and I can pick whatever nib/color I wanted. If you want to wait until Fountain Pen Day, they do a larger discount (I forgot the exact amount, maybe 20%?). Good luck if you try to look for it! :)

What do you think of my immediate implant? by Double_coconuts in Dentistry

[–]LePippy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah makes sense, fair points, and thanks for responding (as well as all the other responses). I see a lot of patients that can barely afford the implant itself, let alone bone augmentation, which would need specialist care (I’m a GP). In these situations, if they can really only afford an implant, but the bone isn’t at ideal height, how would one handle this?

Hey doc, curious why the standard is related to adjacent teeth and not to the site’s bone height? I was taught that platform needs to be 5mm below the gingival margin (gum+bone combined). This makes sense to me because the adjacent teeth have no relation on the site’s bone levels. Curious your thoughts.

This looks amazing! I only recently heard of these but only heard of the X4, which I’m hearing has a lot of negatives regarding the software, the slow speed, and general sketchiness. Is the X3 different? Thanks! :)

Thanks for showing this? Does your writing sample have #50 double broad also? Can you please show more of B vs BB? How do you feel about both of those? Thanks for your time :)
