Re: CRA

Sometimes I don't understand me either!

Dr. C. appropriately challenges the profession to revisit Occlusal
Equilibration. I agree many could use an expanded knowledge base - your
cases are great illustrations. But then he presents a 1960's perspective
on its utility. Yes, a lot of what he says is true, even self-evident.
But an awful lot of good (and bad) research has happened since and some of
his precepts are, at the very least, controversial. The truth lies
somewhere between everybody needs equilibration and nobody needs it.

One of my friends is one of the more noteworthy scientists in the field.
It burns him that Dr. C. can trash decades of research with statements
about what "most practicioners agree" with.

I cut my, er, teeth on Equilibration. Ramfjord was my first Occlusion
prof, after all. But I whittle a lot less enamel than I used to. I think
I have good reasons.
