Thank you for your great informative information. . I am not a big fan of amalgam due to its mercury properties. I am really surprised that dentists still use amalgam. Thank you again .Keep up the amazing videos.

Hi, Thank you for your`re videos, they are very informative. If a patient has a provisional diagnosis of Leukoplakia, which phase would this be placed / treated ? Thanks

Thank you this is really helpful for Vivas. Do you have revision tips to revise for them.

Every dental plan I have seen do not include a full mouth picture linked to the dental plan. Patients can't visulize or follow the plan with no picture. A picture is worth a thousand words.

I’m surprised that they use amalgam in the UK still … they’re banned in even a lot of third world countries 😅

Can someone help me with this please?

Riva, 39/F, came to your clinic complaining of being shy about her smile because of a missing anterior tooth. Upon checking, you see that the patient has no tooth #22, which according to her was extracted about two years ago. Further probing reveals that there were no complications. The patient is currently taking 500mg of Metformin as maintenance medicine for her systemic disease. The patient reveals that while she does smoke cigarette, she occasionally drinks wine during social events. She reports brushing at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a fluoridated dentifrice. Her last dental visit was two years ago for scaling and polishing.

Extraoral examination reveals normal findings in the structures except for the mild clicking noted when the patient opens her mouth. Intra-oral exam reveals restorations on teeth #'s 45, 46, and 36 as well as caries lesions on the occlusal surface of teeth #s  17, 25, and 26. There are also large carious lesion on the proximal surfaces of  teeth # 11 and 12. There are no significant findings in the periapical radiograph for teeth #'s 47, 21, and 23. However there is radiolucency in the apical area of tooth #11 and 12. Slight occlusal wear facets are also seen on the teeth in quadrant 4 and there is general redness noted in the patient's gingiva. Endodontic evaluation reveals normal findings on the vitality and periapical tissues surrounding the teeth #'s 21 and 23. 

Based on the given case

Chief complaint: Shy about her smile due to missing ant tooth
Medical history: Patient has diabetes
Dental history: Exo of 22, OP, Resto of 46, 45 & 36
