A Less-Than-Ideal Crown.

Iatrogenic October 5th, 2006

I’m not saying anything more because the picture screams for itself.

    Actually the endo problem doesn’t hurt much. The crown margin on the failing resin with pin hurts me more.

    The thing that gets me is that there is a DDS out there that actually took an x-ray, looked at it and said “that’ll work”.

    Lolivision: Thanks for visiting. Nice meeting you on Twitter…With cases like this, you come to realize that professionalism isn’t always part of a profession.

    Of course there’s the other excuse that I sometimes hear that the patient understood the crown was a short-term solution but still wanted to go ahead with compromised treatment anyway.

    That’s why making comments on cases like this without the full history is not always a good idea.
