Below are some flashy pics of my recent preparations (aka drillings) and restorations (aka fillings) on ... BABY TEETH! For those of you wondering, Baby teeth are also known as primary teeth, milk teeth, and deciduous teeth.
The first thing I noticed was how incredibly small baby teeth are. It's quite an intuitive and obvious thing to notice, but it was only when I began making my preparations that I realized how minuscule they were, and consequently how little room there was for error. For the past few months we've been busy drilling away at adult teeth. As such, when we switched to working with baby teeth, the transition was more challenging than anticipated.
Mistakes were magnified; boxes were made too deep; isthmuses (or rather, isthmi) were made too wide; plenty of these bad boys were bought. I probably ended up making at least 5 of each!
