Clinic update

Thursday I had several interesting cases - buccal space infection that came in on sick call - lots of puss - forgot my camera though :(

For the day I delivered 2 crowns on 2 individuals ( 1 was on an implant), had another all-ceramic crown to deliver - but the color was off so I sent it back to be remade, 2 extractions and an incision and drainage, 3 exams, 1 two surface posterior composite, smoothed down a chipped tooth, and 1 post operative complication - guy had had surgery done somehwere else, and things needed to be opened back up and cleaned out.

Tooth appeared too dark - sent the case back with some photos to help them as they re-make it.

We wanted the crown to be a combination of 2 shades, so we held up the correct shades next to the crown they sent us so they could use it as a reference point for the next one.
