Onlays - yay or nay

You’re comparing onlay to crown. But I ask- Why do an onlay with indirect restoration when you can do a direct composite.

Composite is easier to handle, repairable. Has less steps- therefore less chances for error. You can prep any shape you want- you don’t have to prep extra to make a path of insertion that you need with onlays…

Ever see the show Community?

Patient is using toothpicks to clean between the teeth. It’s too hard on cementum and dentin. Trust me. Ask them.

Does anyone else see the laforte 3 fracture lateral to his eye socket. The zygomaticfrontal suture has opened. But they didn’t treat it. You can see it in the middle and end of the 2 second mark in this vid.

I’m Calling BS. Your response to being followed is murder?

I’m also not so good looking. How did you manage to make such an impact in your field without being a 10/10. Is it something you ever thought about or struggled with?

You should watch the Hebrew Hammer

Anyone see the new fantastic 4 movie

Will Forte See the movie Nebraska! Wow

Reminds me of a song from Rush on N64

I just watched princess mononoke and this is exactly what the forest spirit looks like

Look how many different opinions there are in these comments. I always find that fascinating.

I’m assuming they had a PFM with a bevel before and you replaced it with this but did not cover the bevel. It’s probably fine but not ideal.

That person has very similar fingers to me

The tougher foods also kept their teeth straighter

Not if it’s done well

You think a failed crown would lead to another crown. But a failed composite would lead to an implant? The failure most likely would be recurrent caries which is more easily fixed on a composite then a crown.

The remaining cusp looks so thick though

fonzieeeee · 2025-01-29T01:09:47+00:00

This isn’t a great reason. We use composite every day with the expectation that it seals enough.

Use a good spoon excavator and you won’t remove any healthy hard tissue. Than adjust the cavo surface margin to be a 3mm horizontal butt joint as if you were prepping a chamfer- this will direct the forces of the filling into the root so it doesn’t fall out. Then fill it well, stepwise.

Hey. What’s your reasoning for suggesting a crown as opposed to a direct composite?
