agree that gold inlays are the ideal, but in many practices that have to deal with the realitys of Insurance, inlays are not an option. I would have to agree with Gordon Christensens assessment that a large posterior composite here, would likely have longevity problems. Ideally a gold inlay

to fail catastrophically and quickly. They are more expensive in terms of material costs and time (to be meticulous). Most insurance plans do not pay for composite fillings. So, dentists who have patients depending on insurance will face financial concerns. Banning amalgam will put those people

of a patient who maybe lost his insurance or job but expects a better financial situation in the future. If I'm cutting down a tooth for a crown, my preference is for resin versus amalgam as a core material. Amalgams work, and short of performing metallic inlays, onlays and crowns for all posterior

_______ should do it. This month was amalgam, next could be cerec, gold foil, lasers, insurance submitting, cone beam, free whitening, reverse crown lengthening, etc. . . But I'm cool with the Lesbians article also. This is what I see regularly and I believe is the point of Howards

, loupes and a headlight. Butt-kicker! But, I did it. And, it came out quite nice, if I say so myself. I get a weird sense of accomplishment (even though I may be cursing under my mask during the procedure). Also, my practice is nearly insurance-free. About 8% of my patients have a benefit plan

honestly see no medical or biological reason to avoid them. But legal issues? Just wait. Have you seen those “1-800 BAD DRUG” commercials on TV?
