All Things Dentistry

This gentleman presented with a random and tear pain to his mandible

Just talking about route resection and some calcium Rockside new tips I've just learned

Talk about retreating Molar tooth, dental product companies and their false marketing that everyone wants white fillings, and just taking teeth out.

Resorption cases on mandibular anterior teeth can be challenging!

Necrotic Teeth and root canals can cause you grief. This patient reminded me exactly why I needed to take a working length radiograph.

Here we tackle a tooth that’s causing a large abscess, and it’s time to suit up with our PPE

Extracting a tooth with a rubber dam is the goofiest thing ever, but it is amazing. You got to try it

Angela comes back from Cuba, and gets hit to do an apicoectomy first thing in the morning. The procedure was exciting. I’ve been using the Airpex and it is actually very interesting to use.

The past week has been a ton of learning and use of 3-D root canal guides to get into calcified cases.

Eric presented with some crazy vestibular abscess, and extract a mile route canal two months

I was on duty the 23rd of December and a few patients rolled in. An interesting case was the OKC decompression patient.

Cracked teeth are everywhere. Omg

Huge palatal access arrived and let’s see what happens.

We cemented down a crown no big deal but we have a cool endodontic access guide printed for a mandibular incisor ready to rock

The week in treatment.

Romeo is such a nice young man. He presented with a huge swelling on his lower left jaw caused by 2 necrotic teeth.

Please learn from my mistake.

Omid Azami from the Noobie Podcast asked me to do an interview. I am super grateful for the opportunity. Here is the full recording of that interview. Funny enough - my wife and i did it from our car as we were trying to escape from the house (from kids) and couldn't find a quiet place with internet. LOL

More things about what the students learned when we attached a patient to the teeth. The first week they had extracted teeth - and now - they have a patient. Game changer

This time, I interviewed Dr. S at the end of the course.

Finished teaching 6 amazing students the 1st week of a 2 week endo course.

Nicole decides to get an ATD tattoo, some cool mentoring, and more root canals. Lol

a full 2 days of exciting dentistry followed by some implant restorative training from our Nobel Rep Stephanie

I’ve waited a decade for this patient. I completed a residency to help patients like these - no posterior teeth and need a simple solution other than a crappy distal extension RPD.

Cracked teeth, super calcified canine, allergy to chlorine

I can't believe it, my team mate - Angela - actually listens to my podcast. I have no idea how she found it. MB2 Dot, can't get db to stop bleeding, extraction of #46 and bone graft - the expertise of an amazing Dental Assistant makes these procedures fly by.

Lucas tackled his first endo!

Using the laws is symmetry, and Emily who’s teeth haven’t fit together for the past 6 months due to likely an endo lesion

Cracked teeth are a reality. I haven’t seen recently a vertical root fracture like this case.

My introduction into transgender patients.

My mother in laws cooking. JP was enjoying his mother in-law’s cooking until that tooth ache hit him square in the teeth!

I started working at a Prosthodontic office last night and he unleashed me on his father in law. LOL. OMG

Talking about placing a guided implant, some braces in some curvy route canals.

Wisdom tooth endo and a tooth that underwent fracture necrosis.

Little bit of ortho, some endos and cutting through a brand new emax crown!

Just 2 premolars - turned out sweet.

Emmanuele had a temporary crown placed, but needed a root canal after her tooth became symptomatic. Her tooth has a calcified mesial lingual canal, an S -curve and she can't open very much! Phew - difficult case! Here is the Webinar Link! https://bit.ly/313QyQd She had lingering pain to hot/cold and waking pain. We diagnosed this tooth with #47 Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis w/ Symptomatic Apical Periodontitis. After a nerve block and PDL injection, we got started. I completed 2 other root canals on her and she's an amazing patient! The contralateral mandibular 2nd molar has the EXACT same anatomy! I treated that tooth 2 years ago. I have a video camera on my scope now, so I was able to record the procedure. The case turned out perfect! Obturation Length The final radiograph doesn't show the curve in the canals. Both mesials and distal canals actually exit buccally at a sharp 90 curve - hence, the appearance on the radiograph that the fill is not "exactly " to the radiographic apex. Music: www. bensound.com

It was a great night with two molars. The first was a 19 year-old young man with a huge carious lesion and the second was my dental assistant and that made me pretty nervous.

Guided implant surgery is ridiculously simple. OMG. Found an amazing case that highlights troughing for mb2 Working on the mb2 course!

Finished the pus draining case, started #23 one appointment. I have a guided premolar tomorrow.
