The answer is no.

Today was my last day before the holiday weekend and I was having a super smooth day/month until the last patient. It was a relatively straightforward MOD on number 19. I go to take the sectional matrix out after filling the distal and it rips on the buccal and lingual leaving a small inaccessible sliver in between the teeth. After trying to get the thing out for 25 min I angrily grab the handpiece and drill another box. A procedure that should’ve taken 30-45 minutes turned into an hour and a half ordeal.

Dentistry: it will, without fail, fuck you the day before a vacation or holiday weekend.

Have a great Memorial Day everyone
