5 YEAR WARRANTY ON CROWNS
 

I must agree with Dr. Roggee;


crown warranty

 

I can't really add much that has not already been said by my colleagues in this Town Hall Forum. I do see this as a poorly concieved concept that is universally rejected by people who understand dentisty. Therefore, why is it even being reviewed by the Board? Why would a citizen propose such a petition if not guided to do so, and why wouldn't the board reject it as ludicrous before putting it into the Forum format?

Is the Board required to put every proposition into this format, regardless of appropriateness? Some editorial comment seems in order. Why does the dental association have to keep on the lookout for ridiculous things like this, so that absurd propositions do not actually develop into lawful requirements? If we can't get the Board to address illegal dentistry issues like tooth bleaching in the mall, or dental "grills" made by jewelers, how do things like this petition get any support to be reviewed?
