I feel a bit like an apostate here in this newsgroup--no, I don't place
NTI's. I made one for my brother years ago--he didn't like it. I have
no concrete reason not to, except that my personal inclination is not to
blame all restorative failures on parafunctional habits.
It undoubtedly has a place--we could argue about how big a place.
I'm sure there are plenty of dentists with evening hours--I know I do.
But I won't come in after hours for a patient I don't know--it's just
too dangerous if I'm going in alone. But I do it when necessary for a
patient of record, if it's an emergency.
That should be SOP, and that's why you want to be a patient of record
in a good practice--a practice that WILL take care of you when there's
an emergency.

Good luck,
Steve

Wow, I should be careful about how my newsreader is set up--I
inadvertently replied to a message almost a year old.
Probably time to go home...
