Wizzies were so named because of the age at which they normally
erupt (18-21).

I've wondered. Would it make more sense to have something named
"wisdom" that functions well and remains in the body?

It seems a bit peculiar to name "wisdom" a body part that gives
pain and needs to be yanked out with renamed over glorified
pliers.

What else can we rename and yank out with pliers? How about a
wisdom appendix? Maybe a couple wisdom ear lobes? Get creative, a
wisdom hemmorhoid? Couple feet of wisdom lower intestine?

Also, I could have gone to Chicago with Dr. Mercuri but I didn't want to
be *postop* in Chicago during the winter trying to make my way back
home; so I didn't investigate the finances. Instead, Dr. Mercuri
travelled to LA in winter (Jan '92) to observe my surgery. LA/Santa
Monica became the 3rd geographical location where the Techmedica joint
replacement surgery was available. And of course, the manufacturer was
just north of LA (still is in the same general area -- TMJ Concepts).

Just so that *we* don't forget all about Charles Homsy and Jack Kent.
You know, I'm one of those "cases" referred to in the first study with
Techmedica. My joints were #48 and #49, IIRC. Anyway, they were within
the first 50. Back in 1991-1992, if I had had the surgery done at
Baylor, Baylor required $100,000.00 cash prior to admission *and*
insurance "preauthorization". I opted to wait a couple months until my
regular LA surgeon was ready for my case. St. John's Hospital in Santa
Monica didn't require what Baylor did. Sheesh.....

Take, for instance, total joint replacement of the TMJ. I am providing a
link to an article that, IMHO, is worthy of everyone's time to read.
Note what was going on ten years ago.

Learning is never finished. But then we all know that...

I think dentistry changed a long way in the last 10 years.......it is
a constant changing science that we learn by practicing and learning
from others. 10 years ago how many dentist will dare to immediate
extract/ immediate placement/immediate temporization........Now I know
many dentist are doing immediate placement flap or none flap.........I
don't know much about everything because I'm still very new at
this....But I'm eager to learn, and I hope by doing my learning I can
provide a better care for my patient.

It would be interesting to go back before the mid 1990s to see how much
bread and butter came from "TMJ surgery" (and all the fixin's).

We all know there are many style of practice, and everyone's comfort
level is different. I think the average FFS fee for impaction is $250,
Insurance......I don't know.....Most my patient are FFS.....I sign up

Not me.....I have no problem with all these four teeth......But it may
suprise you.....many dentist will referred these four teeth out. That
is why OMFS make so much money.
BTW: I love cases like this.......$250 for each extraction, $200-$300
for each bone graft......It is good production for the business.

Yep, I'd buy that for a dollar.

BTW what are the average fees for impactions in your area ?

And I was not pointing this out to make excuses to keep the wisdom
teeth. Most wisdom teeth over time have some problems develop that
would make it a good idea to get them out of there.

It's just that you should know why you're doing it and not make
stuff up.

In the 1960's, all dentists thought wisdom teeth would push the teeth
forward. In the 1970's about half though this way. In the 1980's, about
20%.

Do you see the trend?

If wisdom teeth could push teeth around, a wisdom tooth with the tooth in
front of it missing, should virtually march forward at the rate of 8-10 mm
every month. Instead, all they do is fall over (tip forward).

Wisdom teeth often have small roots. Even if they had normal sized roots,
you would be asking that amount of surface area to be able to push 5-8 times
as much root surface area forward. Ever try to push a car stuck in the snow
and your feet kept slipping?
