I am a male in my late 40's in good general health.  I have about a
half-dozen fillings and an old crown on a lower molar.  Recently a
corner broke off another molar.
I had the crown prep about a week ago, and the crown is supposed to be

Peace be with u all,
I'm making a dental clinic system which require using somekind of
digital camera named "IntraOral camera" and a machine named RVJ it

I have a front tooth with a discoloration that occurred when I was very
young. My dentist bonded it about a month ago with a "white filling."
After a week and half or so, the edge cracked off in my sleep. I went
back and had it redone, but two weeks later, it broke again in the same

I had the top plate made, then moved the next day from PA to Florida. The
plate sort of fits and stays in place, IF I USE A TON OF THAT AWFUL CEMENT.

My clear nightguard has turned black in the place it rests on a silver

Crown on a first molar. The first crown did not fit, was sent back to
lab.
When the crown was first put in I asked if the margins were fine. The

I am a 4th Year dental  student at a UK Dental School. I have been
