Day 6- Amalgambond Plus

I extracted two canines today #22 and 27. Learned that I should not do much buccal/lingual movements but most should be just rotation due to the conical root shape.

Also it was brought to my attention that I should not be wearing any rings during oral surgery ;)

Next, I restored tooth #4 MO.

Dr. Snyder demonstrated how to use amalgambond plus
