Hi Ron………cool stuff , I do concur that there is decay on the tooth in the pics but what a nice result and all without anesthetic.

Looked nice and Marks spoons would have worked well I think. Either that or slowspeeds (round) shhh……..dont tell Mark I said that.

Nice color on the pics.

Thats the beauty of the scope is that I can click click click as I go without stopping to much.

Nice case Ron and great that you shared it.

Keep it and put it in powerpoint for a nice case.

Hi Mark………the scope is fun and it is a great tool for marketing. I cant believe how much dentistry it sold today.

I had a case of quadrant dentistry ( I am trying my darndest to tx plan more this kind of dentistry which is what I enjoy). More dentistry on less patients, its weird how it works when the patient watches on the TV.

Patient today with two restorations on the lower third molar right side and the lower second molar.

The DO on the first molar had decay. Flip on the TV and show patient who says leave it on for her to watch me work.

Then I finish and she asks about crowns on a couple other teeth and wants to go ahead.

The scope is ergonomically better for me than loupes and in addition the photography is amazing .

I will post an osseous case (its not pretty but it was ok) in a minute.

Look for the global guys in Chicago. I emailed them today about your interest and the names you need are

Erin Boyd (VP_)
SEan Ryan ( Eastern Sales manager)
Jeff Kopp (Director of marketing)

Took some more photos of your instruments today packing in a composite……..nice instruments to work with……..here are the photos.

Hi there folks: Here is a case that I saw yesterday. Patient went to Costa Rica today and came in yesterday.

He had an endo done not all that long ago (dont have PA here)

Patient broke whole buccal shelf 7 days ago down to osseous level.

Only had 1 hour to do something for him.

I used the erbium laser 400 micron tip with water at 30 Hz and 100 mj -120 mj. First cut tissue without water then used water on bone to expose the buccal margin.

Only removed 2-3 mm of bone in almost a vertical fashion on the buccal.

Built up tooth with composite then prepped quick crown prep and had dental assistant put on temp crown…….I thought she did a nice job of relining an Ion crown form.

Didnt have time for impression darn it all.

Bill for the 1 hour was core, post , crown lengthening was around 600 dollars not including most of crown done.

How would you alll have handled it.

Glenn

PS used anesthetic……….not that brave yet.

Wow, what a great set of pictures, and the case too, came out great! (must’ve been the instruments! Just kidding, as we know, nothing is as good as the hands that they work in!) Great stuff. Thanks for the info Glenn, I will be sure to meet these fine folks. I would’ve posted some more cases today, but I had the local TV station in today, as well as busy busy busy, leaving to lecture in Salt Lake on Friday, so getting things ready. Again, thanks, hope to talk to you soon!

I have lots of cases with matrix bands used to protect the adjacent tooth.

Laser doesnt do a thing to metal

Mark I am off to bed….couldnt sleep after hockey.

I have a very average set of hands………..but my eyes…..now that is another story in itself. Its sometimes an unfair advantage and a curse what you can see with the scope.

I will continue to post new photos, and I wanted to say I was pleasantly surprised by the nice small size of most of the instruments, and enjoyed the feel and the size of them under the scope.

As mentioned I have no financial interest in them and paid full price for them to support you but from using them for 2 days……I like em.

Will post more later.

Cya and have fun in Salt lake and lecturing.

Cya TV guru………

Nuno: There are two settings for desensitizing teeth.

Dr. Chen prefers to use the gradually increasing settings method where you have the laser close with water and start at a very low setting and then increase the energy every 20-30 secs.

Mark Colonna also desensitizes but teaches the defocussed method which is where you have the laser away from the tooth at much higher energy settings and then progressivley get closer after 90 secs to 2 mins of “bathing” the tooth in energy but not cutting you start.

Both are effective.

For endo I have not used the laser in a way like you have except in children where I have had accidental exposures and then almost always have had to place a drop or two intrapulpally of anesthetic to help with pain and also to help coagulate .

I admire what you have done with the Biolase…….clap clap clap.

Good to see you using rotary NIti for the instrumentation.

Nice case.

Cya
