This kills me!!! Why? We still give it the 'ol "Try your best" but I would like to see how they actual seat someday.
And how the patient is doing in two months, two years as they're now hitting on interference on our bridge as we didn't have the other side to check for cuspid rise and interferences that we may have had to clear in using a full cast upper and lower. Unless the Dr is checking that in the mouth and clearing those, but I doubt it, if they're sending us impressions like these.

Patient sent along a 40 yr old photo to ‘match.’ 😂 (Upper imm fd).
Just to recap. As I suspected, I mostly got blank stares when I explained how much I’d have to open this patient. I’m not going to beg the doc to do things correctly. I opened him 4+ mm and sent it. Feedback is that the patient absolutely loves it and was impressed how well I was able to match his old photo. Feel sorry for his tmj 🤷‍♂️

Good job.

Only patients with a lot of money have TMJ
Patients with a little money have Bruxism
Patients with no money get a $59 GW suckdown.
 
It's all about the fact that WE do care!!! Keep doing our best, but honestly would like to golf for a living
That's because we still work for a living and know what it means to shell out a few thousand. Others feel entitled because of their highly educated skill of putting it in a box and shipping it to a lab.

The RX wax blank other than "Light occlusion on bridge, no occlusion on 23" sent out an email requesting some clarification on how to proceed with the bite, received a 2 word email reply "yes proceed"
 
Heres another one from the same doc, no instructions or comments other than "Light occlusion"DentalManager_R102NDBshf.pngDentalManager_YqwWYUTcYf.png
