What's wrong with this picture?

February 2, 2010

I had a bunch of cool cases yesterday, but got pictures from a couple of them.  See if you can spot what is wrong with the pictures.

Straight teeth - can you figure out what's wrong?

Same patient

Yet another view.  Figure it out yet?  He's missing a pair of front teeth - his lateral incisors (the ones next to the middle two teeth).

This patient came in on sick call.  He had had surgery a few days prior, and his uvula was pretty swollen.  He was sent to Walter Reed and the oral surgeons placed him on steroids and antibiotics.  Pretty cool looking huh!

#3 is a normal size uvula.

For the day we did: Extracted 6 teeth on 4 patients, 2 exams, 1 crown prep, 3 restorations on 3 patients (4 surface amalgam, 3 surface amalgam, and a 4 surface composite on a front tooth that was chipped).
