what does dr. walsh's office do on every single patient coming in for consultation
take a wide smile photo to show them the possible before and after
-conservative prep, feels more natural
-less sensitive, more similar to enamel
-less need for bite adj

what is the first thing kedra asks the patient for the consultation
is there anything that the patient does not like about their teeth
why are crack a problem (name 3)
breakage, leakage, veritical root fractures, cracks that extend into pulp chamber
How much do we charge for one "sponge" of curodont?
$100.00
why would we need to take a pre op-scan?
existing crown, has an existing retainer, the tooth supports a partial denture
why is the profile view important in invisalign photos?
lip support! does their lip stick out, does it sink in? Chin position?
she studies the scan so she is prepared what to talk about the patient
how is a craze line different from a crack
only in enamel-cracks are usually on marginal ridges; cracks are heavily discolored or has a shadow around it
in a dentin can extend into pulp chamber
What is inside the sponge?
a peptide!
how do we scan a complete denture?
hold it in your hands by most terminal molar-switch hands to be sure not to capture your hand in scan
tell us difference between class 1, class 2, class 3 occlusion?
1:The upper teeth fit slightly over the lower teeth, like a lid on a box. The upper first molar sits just a little bit behind the lower first molar’s groove. (normal bite)
2: The upper teeth/jaw are too far forward compared to the lower teeth/jaw. Looks like the upper teeth stick out, or the lower jaw is “back.” (overjet)
3: The lower teeth/jaw are too far forward compared to the upper teeth/jaw The lower front teeth may stick out past the uppers. (underbite)
she keeps it short, asks pt if they want any additional info about invisalign and then keeps it positive and sends them on their way
what can happen when a premolar does NOT have a "bridge" explain what a bridge is and what can happen
not enough enamel in between cusps and it can CRACK
What is the Jenga analogy?
in Jenga, you are removing blocks from the matrix-this is like our tooth, eating takkis, drinking mountain due, mouth breathing...fluroide wraps jenga in plastic wrap, resin infiltration fills in these gaps with plastic, curodont puts the wooden jenga blocks back in!
how do we shut down our iteros??
plug in, shut down, wait until its off and unplug
what is our goal time for ortho records? For a scan? For pictures?
20 minutes total!
