Treatment Failure

Arrrhhh!!

He reminded me again wat had happened on last Fri..
Thought i can just learn a lesson n forget abt it.. but he mentioned the case again..


Rubber damming a posterior lower 7 that needs huge distal cavity prep & restoration.
- 8th is absent, no support at all for a clamp! The rubber dam is just gunna eat into the distal side of the 7th. How am i gunna rubber dam it?! This is just too stupid. I'm a big dumb-ass if i just follow his instructions.. arhh..

3 IDs, that doesnt work. - this is my fault, i admitted!
Have got a feeling that i didnt get the right point after the 1st ID. Tried 2nd time, not working again. Was hoping tat he'll do the 3rd one so tat i can proceed with the treatment and learn fr my mistakes .. but NO.. i'll hav to do it. He only comes over after i failed the 3rd one..AHhhhh.. stress! Hav wasted 1 hr before i get to start drilling..

Time to fill
It's hard to fill by just looking at it. A huge DO extended subgingivally with just little tooth material left. Hard to even hold a matix band in place.
"Go on n fill it with amalgam.." tat's wat he said.
Took a deep breath, kept my mind as positive as i can, i tried my very best to pack the material in and carve. It was a challenge.
When he came back for a check, the next thing he said was: 'ok, i think this is not goin to work. The filling wont stay long. Next time we'll hav to do a gold inlay when the patient comes back."
Aaaaaaaarrrrhhhhh!!!!!!!
I'm goin nuttttss!! Why didnt he notice that earlier and we can just proceed with impression taking?! We hav wasted sooo much of our n patient's time doin NOTHING! Even a dental student can tell that it's not gunna work by just filling it at first!! There're more work to be done next time as we'll have to drill the filling out again!... arrrrhhh
Learnt my lesson. Now i've lost trust in him. Thinking of a way to escape..

Great that it's Halloween today! A good reason to go out to DRINK & DANCE... ^^
