Placed amalgam fillings on #18F and 18O. Then saw another patient who had a fractured #15DOL and restored with amalgam.
Extracted six teeth- 2, 4, 5, 15, 28 and 29 and sutured the sites where primary closer was possible.
Had another patient who had 2 large cervical caries on #22F and 27MF and his partial depends on these two teeth so he was hoping to have them restored. We discussed the benefits of amalgam vs. composite and he said he wants amalgam to keep his teeth. Dr. Schmidt checked my preps and helped me establish better retention by using 90 degree cavosurface in addition to retention grooves. I am really starting to like using amalgam in areas such as subgingival margins where isolation is almost impossible. The results were good and the patient was very happy to have his teeth restored.
