Supraeruption happens. Gingival inflammation happens. Pulpal inflammation happens. Traditionally, we can “work through” these problems. We can grind crowns into place. We anesthetize and use hemostatics on the gingiva. We doendos. But we shouldn’t have to do those things, especially with digital dentistry.
