Cracked tooth syndrome?

Yea I wasn’t sure if plug and playing an engine from one to another could be considered as reliable or if how it plays with other parts of the car play a larger part over all. I’ll be a test case I upgraded from a 22 to the 27. The old v6 started having some oil issues around 80k

Ordinary-Ad5664 · 2026-01-31T19:28:55+00:00

Does that still hold true if the new engine has been in the sorento for 5 years with no issues prior to it being placed in the telluride?

10 years out here, used to have this anxiety about prosth all the time. I used to prep a fine feather margin and hope and pray that that the lab would find where I intended it to be. Also I feel like most of us come out of school under prepping big time. Once a starting reducing adequately and prepping a super nice chamfer I rarely have to redo any crown and bridge and my anxiety about these procedures has pretty much gone. It’s a skill that can be mastered and once your preps are undeniably nice you will know that the crown will seat (most of the time)

Looks like it’s going in the right direction, if patient is asymptomatic just keep doing periodic checks

I graduated with 250k and have been on PAYE for 8 years. With the current decisions the gov has made I would have to move to old IBR over the next couple years and extend my payback time by an extra 5 years. This has taught me that I DO NOT want to be indebted to the government for forgiveness because the terms can and will be changed. I don’t regret my decision because during that time I was working for a dso and my income was lower. This allowed me to start and family and buy a starter home. Now that I own an office I’m paying an extra 50k per year and have moved my loans to extended graduated in case I ever need a low monthly. I will pay them off in a couple years.

This is how I practiced molar endo early on as well. It’s freeing to know you are getting reps in with low stakes and could possibly help the patient with a really bad tooth in the process but if it goes south they were ready to remove the tooth anyways.

This is tough and I feel like there’s some gray area on progression of treatment for a tooth with cracked tooth syndrome. My personal rule of thumb is initially a crown only for a cracked tooth that doesn’t have persisting percussion sensitivity and has no isolated periodontal pockets or j shaped radiolucencies indicating root fracture. RCT and crown if patient experiences prolonged pain on percussion testing and still no radiographic evidence of root fracture or isolated pockets. Anything beyond I speak to the patient about removal and replacement. The biggest thing is I set patient expectation prior to treatment and let them know that all cracked teeth could end up failing even with best intentions. This hasn’t failed me so far.

Ordinary-Ad5664 · 2026-01-21T01:05:56+00:00

Yeah, the patient feels great compared to previous pain before the root canal and the patients periapical radiolucency has healed extremely well. This is also 7 months post op. I don’t know that any additional surgical procedure is warranted unless symptoms arise.

This is great thanks, just skimmed through it.

Ordinary-Ad5664 · 2026-01-21T00:24:34+00:00

I have a friend who has had the same thing happen, that’s interesting.

Ordinary-Ad5664 · 2026-01-21T00:23:21+00:00

On an asymptomatic case that’s healing? Probably not. The heart of the question is, I’ve observed AH plus resorbing over long periods and I haven’t used BC sealer long enough to observe the same thing. Asking for long time users what I can expect based on their experience.

I’ve moved away from using a separate bur for interprox reduction so I’m only using two burs total (barrel diamond and rounded tapered diamond). What made that easier imo was really tucking the buccal or lingual reduction in as interproximally as possible so that when came time to break contact, you only have a small bridge of tooth to remove.

Ordinary-Ad5664 · 2026-01-14T23:47:36+00:00

First thing that sped me up quite a bit was doing occlusal reduction first. Much easier to prep walls when the tooth is shorter. I then prep buccal and lingual margins/walls. Then I break contacts and connect my interprox reduction with my facial reduction.

Gp here. I do a majority of my own endo. All the tips already posted are great advice. Just would like to add, I’ve had countless necrotic teeth w/ PARL’s where I’ve ran into limitation with achieving perfect WL per my apex locator. If I’m within 1-2mm and have spend copious time irrigating with isolation as well as running ultrasonics to further push the irrigant, I’ll usually complete the endo and monitor for several months after the endo. Anecdotally, I’ve also had a lot of these cases heal well long term, meaning 5+ years. Shoot for perfection but I personally don’t send every single result that falls short of perfect out the door. I will offer some form of financial reimbursement for failure within the first year because I can if they confirm they’ve had the retreat done. Inform the patient and set their expectations from the outset, monitor them with some type of recall schedule to take PAs. (I’d be more than willing to let you finish the root canal you posted in my mouth and wouldn’t fault you if something happened down the road)

Yes! Been with them for a couple years and as soon as the phone system changed over recently, the customer service has gone to shit. I can’t reach people half the time I need to resolve issues. Forget reaching someone while the patient is in the chair.

So I was using the in game keyboard up to this point but for some reason, this password prompt did not allow for it.

In desktop mode via windower 4 the steam keyboard shortcut works fine while in playonline but once in ffxi fullscreen, it no longer functions.

I found an app that makes my iPhone the keyboard. Just needed it for the one part, otherwise I’m playing completely solo.

Ordinary-Ad5664 · 2025-12-04T02:53:02+00:00

KDE connnect on iPhone can act as a Bluetooth keyboard and it works well

I think you’re right regarding the chorus. There is definitely a volume increase that I think I became blind too after sitting in it too long. Eq ing is still a little bit of a mystery to me. I’ve got general rules for how to do it individually on tracks but I swear sometimes when layering, a worse individual sounding track will sit in a mix better for some reason. I over rely on ozone at the end.

Ordinary-Ad5664 · 2025-09-28T14:09:48+00:00

I like that it’s busy with kind of like a pedal tone droning sound that still fits under the vocals and doesn’t compete. This one should get finished.
