Differing dental reports

Hi,

This is a followup to a post I made some time back. My wife's old
dentist diagnosed her with five (5) crowns. Her new dentist says she
needs one (1) crown and two fillings. These reports we're based on the
same set of full mouth Xrays. Now I would expect some variation, after
all dentists are human, and some cases could be borderline. But this
result astounds me. Maybe it shouldn't. In any case, I guess it's a
good thing we went for that second opinion. Would reporting this to the
state dental board accomplish anything?
