Multiple choice...


Sometimes we get choices...take a look at these...
1. New decay on a tooth that never had work...needs a new filling.
2. Old silver filling(amalagam)breaking down..needs removal and restoration.
3. Old crown has the porcelain breaking down...new crown needed.
What do we do first? Well I am going to leave the crown replacement for another day...today we will focus on placing two new fillings.
Step 1..removal of old filling and excavate new decay....

Decay fully removed from both teeth now...

Here you can see the two teeth each with a matrix retainer applied...and then the finished fillings...



Have a happy thanksgiving...
