@jchilders98 - I'm a retired dentist. Often root canals are not completed in 1 day because of the level of infection.

@jchilders98 - I'm a retired dentist. Often root canals are not completed in 1 day because of the level of infection. If you take a massively infected tooth and complete the root canal in 1 day you end up with a patient in a lot of pain as the pressure of the pus builds up. You start the root canal on the first day and allow it to drain overnight, assessing on the second day whether or not it is ready to be closed up.
Actually it isn’t 3D printing but the use of a 3D cad cam and then a milling machine to mill the crowns. I am a dental assistant and we make permanent crowns in our office in a 1 1/2 hr appointment.
My dentist uses a 3D mapping wand - akin to a draftsman's CAD system - to make a topographical map of the stub needing a crown, and all adjoining teeth. He emails the data files to a lab in a nearby large city. The finished crown (or partial; this technique appliws to both) arrives by UPS a few days later. My wife and I have had five total crowns and partials done by this method, and every one has been a perfect fit right out of the box.
A year or two ago, I had a crown that needed to be replaced with a new crown. My dentist removed the old crown and used a machine to fashion a new permanent crown while I waited. The whole process took less than 2 hours, as I recall. I suppose it was some type of special 3D printer made especially for dentists, like Barbara said.
Yes, but is the patient unable to work between procedure and close up? Mine needed three days to drain and I didn’t miss an hour of work. Between the two visits.I think that is the point. He’s hiding from his ill deeds finally catching up to him.
AMEN - I now call Biden "O'Biden" and not because he's of Irish descent - NOPE...because he's a EVIL, SELF-SERVING SYCOPHANT SEXUAL DEVIANT like his "running mate", Barry Boy!
Nope--don't read ANYTHING about O'Biden because he's a puppet - I knew that from the beginning. HE'S A HORRIBLE FARCE and a DEEP STAIN on our once great country's history.
Oral health is directly connected to your biological health. Weston A Price discusses this in his writings. Maybe the bigger story is how healthy is Biden? He’s a faller and struggles with piecing simple thoughts together and now supposed root canal? Maybe he should visit a biological dentist.
Side note-I always thought he looked like he has dentures. Are root canals needed for people with dentures?
I was of the mind that root canal’s are history having been replaced by dental implants. Is a root canal tooth really a dead tooth just awaiting an infection or abscess?
He says root canals are one of the leading causes of mysterious illnesses due to the root being porous. They leach bacteria and parasitic infection back into the body. His case studies are really interesting.
Exactly. Never get a root canal. Instead, pull the tooth and get an implant. They will argue with you about it because they make a lot of money off root canals. And the root canals don't last very long. Then you have to start all over.
My buddy had a mouth full of bad teeth. Genetics. He had to fire his dentist because he insisted on replacing all his teeth with root canals. I told him the subclinical infections from all those root canals leeching into his body would degrade his immune system and he would probably get a degenerative disease as a result. He found a dentist that replaced all his teeth with implants and he is very happy.
If you have the funds for implants - friends of mine have spend $10,000 on a mouthful of implants--I don't have that kind of change to do it. I'm thankful I still have all my own teeth--except for TWO molars (lower on the left side).
My father in his eighties had this problem it was a big problem and was in a lot of pain. Teeth he put into his bone had become infected. Dad didn’t want dentures he had a great smile and great hair bitch he lost in his eighties. Always lamented this greatly. .
Thank you, Sheryl - I had one of those "quickie" root canals - and guess what...8 years later, I developed a horrible abscess and it had to be "re-canaled" - that was even worse than the FIRST canal! I still have that tooth though--remarkably. I hope I can keep it 'til my soul leaves this aging body--LOL!
I agree--I couldn't go through THREE canals on the same tooth. In fact my present dentist said if this canal'ed tooth festers again--it needs to be pulled. So...I accept his diagnosis.

Thanks, I'll update
Same day crowns are made everyday with 3d printing

My dentist had one in his office. I came back 3 hours later and it out it in.
Just had one done
My husband is a dentist and he does crowns, everything in office, start to finish in two hours. 👍
yep

My dentist can make the crown in office in less than an hour with some kind of 3D printer/machine
Mine, too, and unfortunately, I’m going to be the recipient of this service next week.
My "like" was an empathy like. Not a "like" like. I'm not a sadist.
I understand! lol
Yeah, the CERAC machine. Amazing.
I've had several same day crowns that were made in the 3D machine and they have held up great over the years.
Cerac machine

Barry is talking in the earpiece. Remember the clip where he said he’d like to sit in his basement in his sweatpants and run things?
Who's talking in Barry's earpiece? Turtles all the way down . . .
Exactly!!! Nice reference!
Good point.
Nope--don't read ANYTHING about O'Biden because he's a puppet - I knew that from the beginning. HE'S A HORRIBLE FARCE and a DEEP STAIN on our once great country's history.
You are sure Soetero is wearing pants ....
Actually I thought he was gay and he mentioned the sweatpants
He’s an embarrassment to all people of Irish heritage.
Didn't he hide throughout the election period? What's an extra day?
Biden goes into hiding when news of his crimes comes out.
I can vouch for this not as a dentist but as a patient who had a terrible dentist
😑😡

I think his teeth are either crowns/implants or veneers.
To which body double are you referring?
The Jim Carey one? He has been taking some time off after his characteristic acting fall to amuse his fellow Bollywood actors and actresses. 🙄
His teeth have always been so fake looking, chicklets. Maybe a Canadian Dentist on his plan that he thought was so great.
So tiring!
definitely

Yeah. I think it cost him about 20G
OMW--I hope he lives a good, long life to get his "money's worth"--LOL!
Had an infected root canal taken out. 2 days. Not fun.
I bet it’s not fun at all
Plus cost an arm and a leg
Good to know. thanks for that.
Been there and done that myself.
Good info. Thank you for sharing.
My father in his eighties had this problem it was a big problem and was in a lot of pain. Teeth he put into his bone had become infected. Dad didn’t want dentures he had a great smile and great hair bitch he lost in his eighties. Always lamented this greatly. .

I've had three on the same tooth. So far, so good, after #3.
Time to change dentists 🦷
