I placed the implant crown on Gerald Duncan two weeks ago, and last weekend, he said it fell out. We were in Berkeley and I was so frantic. I didn't take an x ray as Lori and staff were going out to eat and I still don't remember how to do that there. It is so frustrating to try to do dentistry when I don't have the help and staff. So it felt a bit 'not tight enough' when I screwed down, and now it came loose. I bought a screw from G & H, and retightened it down with KR's help on Monday when we came home. He called two days later it is loose again. I WAS JUST BESIDE MYSELF.
So I called the rep, Anthony from Astra and he comes on Thursday, and we finally took some x ray, and it looks like the contour on the ML and MB is too heavy, so I reduced and finally it seated so tight that I could barely remove it WITHOUT even hand screwing it down. Yay, finally. So after about TWO hours, I finally closed the access and went home. I WAS so hungry. Ate a little and went to work MMA at Journey of Faith.
That always make me so grateful. GOD IS SO GOOD. There was only me, and my hands were cramping up. Gloria and Lori were helping and there were plenty of patients. I did lots of cleaning, tried to explain a whole bunch of diagnosis, and cemented #23 with Duralon, which promptly fell out. The tooth was just a teepee, and nothing holding it in and I have no idea how old the cement was. There were calculus coming out of my ears. We were done at 8 and I came home. Kurt went to run some errands, don't know what, and came home to bed.
