I dont mean to be defensive, but you are offensive.. You are 'disturbed' , I get it! Its your thing.. But most everyone on this forum can criticize while adding their knowledge and experience. You may have some but you add nothing useful to the conversation, so stay out of it.
I could start a thread alone on this case, how it was handled, how the Dr really let the patient down by cementing this case (my first and only case for him) and how you really have to go the extra mile to get all the minor details exactly right on a case like this. I did remake this crown at no charge, in an MO, but sadly I moved to europe before I found out how this case turned out. Ultimately it was on the Dr to try and opaque out the stump because the pt wanted ONLY all ceramic... Maybe I should have used an HO.. Unfortunately ill never know..
So what you consider my "ego" is actually a personal commitment i have with this case, and a personal connection i had with an actual pt. We all want the slick perfect beautiful 1st seat single central, but this is sometimes the reality and how you deal with the pt AND the Dr AND the material is the focus of this thread.. Not my incisal 1/3.
End rant.
