[QUOTE="JMN, post: 267780, member: 8469"] Is it standard to put them dead center of the lingual/palatal at your lab? Why not use the bulk of the crown as your friend and put it on the disto-lingual corner or even on the distal if the other teeth allow it. And as low as possible so it is part of the polished metal as a small half moon shape above the line. Then even if the pt sees it, you can assure them that only them, you and the dental office staff will ever see it since the dot points to their throat. Also, this makes it far far easier to lift a bridge with the pickup tool being nearly in line with the mass instead of having to really sqeeze the mosquitos or whatever your using to hold the tail. Just for fun, I've heard of a dds fellow complain about 'those stupid dots' etc etc and couldn't get the explanation. Ended up being told that 'we know you know which side is which, but some need help with that. We'd rather not change protocol just for you." Doc went away feeling satisfied and superior. [/QUOTE]
