buildups at time of rct completion

Subject: [roots] Buildups R Us
I've decided I'm going to make a concerted effort to start placing
the buildups at time of rct completion. No more pussy footing
around on this issue. I'm going to make phone calls to explain
myself and for those docs that object, I'll hold of on it for now.
However, I'm hoping many of them will let me do this, especially
since I'm initially not charging extra for it....so they can
modify my buildup enough to justify in their mind getting the
buildup chargeout in their office. Once I get most of the
referring docs on board with this, I plan to raise my rct a bit
to offset the extra time I put into this.
This is one done today. I placed the amalgam buildup, after which
I plan to call to ask permission to do it. :-))))
Mark.....I may have a GT3 for sale shortly
if this doesn't go well. LOL
I’ll trade you my root zx2 for your gt3. right decision. I long
ago forced my referring base to accept the same. But since I am
my referring base, and I generally like me, it was an easy sell.

Mark, Beautiful case. I am a general dentist who prefers to have
the endodontist do the buildup. To me, the time for the buildup
is at the time the endo is sealed. Plus, I love getting a
completed case from Joey Dovgan, knowing I can focus on the crown
or onlay prep only.
From a production standpoint, I can produce more per hour by having
the buildup already in place.
(if that's why they dont want you to do it)
Personally, I think you should charge for it. Why amalgam though?
(I am not anti amal, just don't understand why not a bonded
reinforced composite core) Again, sweet case. Scott
