My main concern is : 1. Good camera, sometimes like doing astrophotography casually but looking for nice selfie bcs I want to take nice photo for my family. 2. chipset wise that can stand for future 5 years. I dont look for absolute gaming performance but better chipset is better to withstand future demand. 3. Battery at minimum 5000, more is better. 4.Cleaner OS minimum bloatware/ads but even if they had them I can disabled it all permanently. 5.Good tools for editing like AI tools for remove object etc

my current phone is poco x3 nfc so I want better performance and this time as I said before better camera bcs poco camera's is... well. My sibling had Poco F7 12/516 and the camera doesn't feel nice enough. Other sibling had samsung A55 camera wise still not nice enough and both of them AI photo edit wise is still not great.

My candidates based on budget, all of them 8/256 I also attach budget wise variant.

1. Oppo Reno 15 or 16 F (Look nice for selfie and camera is great but chipset wise kind of deterring for years of usage)

2. Iqoo 15R, or Neo 10 and Z11 due to budget wise (chipset is great, but camera I'm not sure. Might drop them if the camera and AI tools quality is same as Poco F7)

3. Vivoo V70, or V79 FE preferable due to budget wise (Seems all rounder?I 'm not sure)

4. Realme 16 Pro (Haven't try this on so I only out this here base on price wise)

5. Xiaomi 17T or 15T (Curious.Os might bloated as heck but I'm okay for a bit work to debloat)

Can anyone here kindly told their experience using these phones? I would like to hear it. I might buy in another 2-5 months. Phone prices is crazy right now.

Still deciding which one to get between these. For initial situation, I had already owned E-Pex pro apex locator since beginning. Its logical to get e connect se instead. But e-xtreme had a smallest head its good for small mouth opening, meanwhile e connect s+ good for simplicity + more security it had built in apex locator but bigger head than e-xtreme.

I might use Protaper system file since its the only one system I can remember by head. If anyone here that already owned these types of endomotor, can you tell me the actual experience?

I had met this pt that want to fix their 11 12. Both had history of several restoration attempt and failed every year it chipped off. During examination I noticed pt had an anterior cross bite, and laid out my concern for the cause of the failure. This one def need root canal + post + crown. But I knew its not going to be easy since usually you'll need to calculate the core prep so it could be manipulated to Class I bite. I washed my hand off it and sent them a merry way to endodontist.

I know the basic of crossbite crowns need to be carefully calculated so it can be changed to class1 bite to ensure the survivability, but I had a hard time to find any study / lecture materials protocols for this kind of case in detail. Did anyone can grace me with the source that could help? Want to learnt more about it. At least if I still cant do it, I can explain it better.

Pt had gone to dentist years ago and got Pulp mummification. Pain started again a week ago. I had precribe medication and told them to visit again in one week for ext. This one case is a bit weird in my sense. At first the anasthtic works well, I luxate and got movement (I can rotate it left and right), but it stuck somehow (RO didnt show anything, maybe its curved root but on buccal/lingual). It suck that even the remaining crown broke so no more forceps.

Then there is pain coming. I tried to probe around and administer more anaesthetic and add mandibular block, but no luck despite there is a sign of the block working (numb half lips, cheek and tongue). It got to the point even slight luxation result in pain. In the end I pack up and instruct them to try again in a week. The clinic only have lidocaine with normal 3cc 23G syringe, so I cant use pressure to shove the needle between the bone-tooth like when I had intraligament syringe with much smaller needle, they work so well to shove the anasthetic inside)

I had read around this reddit a while ago they had try to to intrapulpal to kind of this case but I forgot until I typed this thread. Idk if that would work too with just normal plastic syringe

And there is a much probability the root curved on buccal/lingual, the root stuck despite I can rotate it left and right. So if anyone know the trick to this kind of case please let me know

Re read about dry socket protocols, most will said to irrigate the socket to flush food bits and put in socket dressing like Alveogyl.
But as I remembered during dental school, my OS mentor said is to inject local anaesthetic - Scrape socket to remove necrotic bits and until it produced a fresh bleeding - If needed, put biosponge inside the socket - do X suture to secure the clot - prescribe antibiotics and revisit in one week to remove suturing.

I never had touch any kind of socket dressing like Alveogyl, so is anyone here can put me into more insight?

A sales offered me few sets of endodontics K-Files since I said to him I want to buy 25mm #6 and #8

Then he whipped out a brand that I never saw before, like Azdent, NIC. Atp I only had ever Dentsply files,it was shocking those brands cost half of Dentsply files. I'm not saying yes yet, so perhaps I should at least try to ask peeps here if they had ever deal with cheaper K file brand? I used it mainly for scouting and secured lenght while changing file sizes (Use Protaper).

Treated first lower molar with irreversible pulpitis that been quite persistent with anasthetic(even with mandibular block). With apex locator, it read around 17mm on mesiobucal and mesiolingual canal. Distal canal hasnt been estabilished yet since there is still some vital pulp and some pain(I dont push too hard on it yet since pt is very anxious about pain,its going to be a long endo with my current state)

Though the apex locator had showed apex at 17mm repeteadly, it felt too short to be a molar canal. Pre op PA look normal although the PA cut short right before the apex due to my limited skill on taking PA. Obv I need to took working lenght PA on the next visit but its kinda strange though. The reading is a bit jumpy and I’m not soaking the cavity with water nor I dried it with paper point since both of this situation will lead me into more innaccurate reading all along my endo experience, I find a moist canal is the best for reading.

I had speculating maybe there is still some vital pulp below 17mm lenght that cause my locator to stop at 17? When I tried to pull the pulp using barbed broach it didnt go pulled all out like usual but piece by piece + bleeding

Its such a frustation dealing with class 2 often times. I did class 2 17 mesial 3 years ago, with initial complaint is the molar between 16 and 17 had a slight gap that made pt uncomfortable bcs food keep stuck there. After that around 1 year ago id the same filling chipped at the cervical, Right, the first time pt came I just started my oractice so I'm way more equipped so I redo it again.

Last week, pt came again. My filling fractured vertically right on the mesial wall, it stuck. Iremoved all the old filling and find out the part of the old filling that in direct contact with the cavity didnt crack. Unfortunately at this time the pressure of my dental unit keep failing so I cant continue. Sent her home with temporary.

Pt had said the flossing is good(nothing stuck) until 2 months ago, started to feel her floss got stuck and there is sensivity to cold. She went to me again after it feels cracked for sure.

I always did my class 2 with those saddle matrice for there past year(now it become tools that had the most comfortable result for me now)

I wonder what made it failed this time. The first failure most likely because of overhanging, I made sure to put extra care with side polishing. Is that because of there is still a heavy contact spot it eventually crack?

Clinic I worked at only had straight type of luxator / elevator. I did found curved luxator in our storage but its only slightly curved since its only around 2.5mm wide(this really helped in taking out pesky molar root)

But there is this #28 with only palatal wall left (rest of it already broken off due to decay). I cant find any good point to luxate it at all. My luxator / elevator at that time cant reach it, I used all of my luxator / elevator but I felt like I cant reach the exact point that it needed to loosen it up and ended up refer it to OS. I figure out maybe because I need luxator / elevator that hand curved handle? But idk what kind of type that would help.

My friend that now currently in OS residency said "find a curved tip one with small size" I did had one though and its not working...?

Now I'm in a hunt to collect more luxator/elevators, so please share your thought

I think I just need to vent out.

Already check the lenght perfectly even confirmed it with radiograph. Gutta fit tight and nice, everything is double checked. During obturation patient feel a slight pain but it most likely from my sealer puff as I shove the gutta in. When I took radiograph again, there it is the tip of the gutta poking out from the apical I think by 1.5mm at most. The patient already feel tired so I had to wrap things up with notice that if there is a swelling or pain persist more than a week we will redo that.

Patient go home. Then the assistant said the gutta I used earlier had dropped into the non sterile surface...twice. Turned out I didnt realized it bcs when they did it I look the other way to grab things that I forgot for final restoration later. I asked what they did after and said dip the gutta back around a minute in 2.5% naocl and rinse it with saline I used for final irrigation. Cant exactly blame anyone but myself for not observing the asst prepping the gutta. I feel so tired mentally, I'm not sure if it drop on floor or the glass surface I used for the bond I cant bring myself to ask more without crying. It was good he still though of 'redisinfect' that instead of putting it back like nothing happened but I wished being told earlier so I could replace it. Its been 5 years being a dentist with these 3 years actively practicing but cases always find ways to gone wrong under my watch its so ridiculous something still messed up with such a very straight foward case.
