Recent completes:
Case 1: Previously initiated, the RD could not locate negotiate/locate the canals. I had to do an enameloplasty on the adjacent molar, mainly to finish the distal aspect of the alloy. 2 step with amalgam core.
Case 2: Recent symptoms, 2 step with amalgam. Root/ furcal prep. Advised a DME with a distal alloy margin.
Case 3: Patient has had bad experiences with RCT’s and extractions and wanted to save this lone molar for a future potential bridge. Cu band build up. Amalgam core.
Case 4: Patient was adamant about saving this tooth. 4 canals and amalgam core. There is still enough tooth to grab for a crown, hence I don’t think a post was needed.
Suggestions? Thanks VRV

Your clinical decisions seem appropriate, especially the choice to avoid posts. The DME suggestion is on point. By the way, after all that work, maybe unwind with some bubble shooter !
It is impressive to see the lasting durability and reliability that amalgam restorations provide in dental practice after all these years. They remain a vital, cost-effective option for ensuring long-term oral health and structural stability for patients worldwide.
