You're supposed to be a mind reader too....what's wrong with you?!?!?Rx says "Pt wants #10 to be EXACTLY(all caps on Rx) the same length as #7"
Looking at the RPD seated on the supplied model 10 is longer than natural 7.
Well, I made them exactly the same length on the model I was given.
Found out at delivery that:
I was expected to infer the model is from 2012 when the cast RPD was first made.
I was expected to infer that there'd been massive resorption and how much.
I was expected to infer that the pt's partial was canting severely from the resorption making 10 too short.
I was supposed to 'put a longer tooth on and let me (dds) cut it down' and I just didn't do what was wanted.
I sent my helmet out for repair. Doc said it'll take a while even though he can drop it off fixed before it broke.You're supposed to be a mind reader too....what's wrong with you?!?!?
At the very least he should have done a pick up impression so you could SEE what's going on in the mouth! And if it's canting so severely from resorption, do ya think it just MIGHT need a reline as well, if not a complete new partial....DUH!!!!I sent my helmet out for repair.

Bets on sinus perf?
Look, we're running behind and .....The mandibular tray used on the maxillary is a nice touch.
We've got an account who used to do that all of the time. They would fill the space with rope wax and then impress. I told them as long as they did that, anything we made for them wouldn't be guaranteed because the impressions had a likelihood of being distorted. Unfortunately for the patient the case that happened to was an immediate partial extracting a few anterior teeth. Partial didn't fit and had to remade quickly because the teeth had already been taken out. They had to pay for 2 partials and they now use the correct trays, except when they're doing a pick up for a repair and they'll still use a lower tray. I don't get it.The mandibular tray used on the maxillary is a nice touch.

@Car 54 This is the one we discussed.Rx says "Pt wants #10 to be EXACTLY(all caps on Rx) the same length as #7"

Pretty sad. Ive shared with JMN recently that a couple Drs are talking about (threatening) to sue me because Ive used the term malpractice in regards to implant placement similar to this.where am I ? What to do with this ?
At least they put it in bubble wrap for you. The very first case we picked up after being closed for 6 weeks was 2 impressions just thrown in our delivery bag. GRRRR!!!!
There isn't even enough room for a horseshoe. They are getting you a new impression, right?!?!?#9 flipper.
