We had two PA denied during our routine exam 4BW2PA. They have a dentist reviewed the case and deemed the X-rays unnecessary. Has this happened to you before? This is not a lot of money but seems extremely petty.
I am an orthodontist, 3 years out of residency. I work with the university (clinical assistant professor), so I teach clinically and lecture. I also see my own patients 1.5 days a week in our shared faculty clinic. We have also all female assistants. My male colleagues are referred to as Dr. Lastname in front of patients. I’m only referred to as my first name. Honestly, it doesn’t bother me much, as I want to be accessible and relatable to my patients. I’m just not sure if this is common? Only myself and the one other female provider (our craniofacial specialist) are referred to in front of patients by our first name only. What is the standard?
To clarify: I have no problem with people calling me Dr. Firstname. That‘s actually my preference. It’s more so the concern that “Dr” is never spoken
Do you guys make your staff call speciality offices, mostly endo, to schedule a pt who’s in your office for a limited and you’re referring them out? If so, why?
I’d love to connect with dentists who currently use Kuraray products in their practice, whether that’s CLEARFIL, PANAVIA, KATANA Zirconia, or anything else in the portfolio.
I work with Kuraray’s dental team and am always looking to build relationships with clinicians who genuinely use our products and are interested in getting more involved with the company.
That could include providing product feedback, education, collaboration, and potentially future KOL opportunities.
If you use Kuraray products and would be interested in connecting, feel free to comment or send me a message.
The X-ray clearly demonstrates this. Does this require retreatment, or is it acceptable?
Hi there
Those of you who do these frequently, how do you find them? What’s the case selection for these in terms of extent of caries and number you’d place for one child?
We use a lot of Hall crowns here - UK - and increasingly get parents who want something more aesthetic. I’m a huge fan of Hall crowns and they have great success rates too.
Purely from an operator and biological point of view from those who use zirconia, what do you think? Do they carry higher risk if devitalisation also with how much tooth removal there is? And do you need to do full caries removal prior to placing them, or can you do selective and get a good seal of enamel - I’m finding conflicting info on this too!
Thanks
