New Veneer redux

I had a couple of clinicians private mail me, some who agree with my assessment on the previous post, and a few that dont. I appreciate the input, but dont get yourselves worked up. This is a blog, its just words to provide dialogue or a rally point for those who are like minded or for that fact unlike minded. Its not personal, its just 1 persons view, and if it chaps you, change the channel.

There is a reason why removable prosthetic treatment is ignored by most clinical practitioners now days. It takes an understanding and patience(time) to treat the edentulous. Dental schools continue to remove the educational requirements for students learning denture fabrication and treatment in order to graduate.

Dentists must find and appreciate a qualified technical resource in the lab they use, and then of course theres the dynamic of allowing yourself to realize that nobody evaluates you based on your weakest skills, but rather on your strongest. Those should be, the clinical ones.

Many dentists dont ignore providing removable treatment, they avoid providing it.
