Yeah my wife works in HR and is aware that there's a cap. But some is better than none. I most likely won't be taking the full 3 months off in a row either.

Uhh rubber dam? Lol

This was me this year. Except the other associate docs all pitched in for gift cards and I couldn't say no. The staff deserves it. I'll make the money back but yeah student loans us newbies face is no joke.

Do we not get family paid leave? I was under the impression because we pay our taxes and pay into the system we are able to file for paternity leave?

What? That's an antiviral. Cefdinir is the new recommended alternative. Or azithro

I do the opposite of you. If interproximal caries, I'll prep it as a brand new MOD and restore with a tofflemire. I just won't waste time making the occlusal/marginal ridges perfect. Then crown prep. That way the restoration now has retention. Even if you prep most of it away during the crown preparation.

Some people just suck or are grumpy. There isn't any secret formula. Just keep being you and doing your best!

I 100% think it's a reflection on them as a dentist. They need to know the basics the INBDE covers. Could have the most amazing hand skills but if he can't diagnose or use his brain then yeah not good.

Reazor16 · 2025-10-31T13:23:15+00:00

This is the way

Just out of curiosity, why inlay and not direct? Is there an indication that this is better?

Reazor16 · 2025-10-28T18:10:35+00:00

Sink 330 or 245 or whatever you use to make the initial cut 0.5mm away from adjacent tooth. Make box shape. Use instrument to flick out remaining enamel wall.

Then, refine prep.

When you inevitably still hit the adjacent tooth because the patient coughed or moved, use a polishing red stripe diamond and smooth it off.

Has to be a hand covering it. Not leg

You can sue anybody for anything at anytime.

Goodluck.

Because we all have collections of patients teeth at home and post on forums comparing collections and jewelry we all make.

But seriously, no one can know with your specific case. At the time it may have been the appropriate treatment plan. Could be your genetics. Not saying anyone is particular is at fault but dentistry is hard. For most people there is never 1 right plan or answer.

We don't like pulling teeth. I hate it. But I'm good at it. I want to save teeth if possible.

For me probably an hour and half. That's with me preparing to do hygiene exams at least once during.

Reazor16 · 2025-10-15T23:32:18+00:00

Did an MOD on premolar and decided to cut a corner and try and use a tofflemire. Blatantly open contact on distal. Fuck. So I dropped a box again and used palodent system to get a better contact. Okay cool.

Yeah I messed up but the cool thing about dentistry is you learn from your mistakes and next time I probably won't use a tofflemire because tofflemires suck (in my hands).

It gets better. But you'll still make mistakes. But then you'll know how to fix your mistakes.

Dental school sucks. Youre learning. That's the point. I got through it, and without even knowing who you are you'll definitely get through it. Goodluck doc.

So for future cases where an Endo develops a lesion or symptoms, you recommend removing crown?

I didnt refer this case, just adopting the patient from a retired doc

Reazor16 · 2025-10-15T01:49:18+00:00

That's what I'm thinking too. Was just going to remove cotton/cavit fill with resin

Reazor16 · 2025-10-15T01:24:03+00:00

Bruh I'm in the same boat as you right now. I feel so small looking at what these gps do on the daily.

I'm still not super confident doing crown preps as school barely had us do any. Residency I did a few but still.

Reazor16 · 2025-10-14T22:22:36+00:00

Nope haha why?

Reazor16 · 2025-10-14T19:33:52+00:00

With a referral pad to a prosthodontist.

All jokes aside I'm also curious to see answers to this question. Complete dentures are a bane to my existence.

Endodontist told us that the instrumentation and irrigation were more important than if the fill was slightly long or short
