  1. There is no such thing as a standard crown in the US. All of these materials and more are commonly used for crowns in the US. Without knowing anything about your specific situation, I'd suggest a gold crown for a posterior tooth and a porcelain fused to metal crown for an anterior tooth.
  2. I have a Will, typed,signed and witnessed by 2 Thai friends. I have previously read that this format is one of several legally acceptable formats. A lawyer this week told me this would not be acceptable in a thai court because it must be on the stationary of a lawyer to be accepted. Can anyone clarify the legality of a personally typed will kept in my home?
  3. I just met with a local isaan lawyer and was told the law had changed and now a foreigner can own one property in Thailand. I have never heard this before. She also said I did not need a usufruct document because my thai girlfriend can simply leave the house to me in her Will. Should I be looking for a new lawyer?
  4. I have a one year old Mazda CX30 and was told by the mazda dealer that no map of Thailand is available for use in the navigation system. So I would be interested in obtaining such a map through official or unofficial channels.
  5. If you are trying to call the U.S., try the android app TextNow for free wifi calling.
  6. You might try using an app called Hushed or Text Now to get a US VoIP phone number. I can receive most SMS verification codes, although some systems don't recognize these numbers.
  7. I would be surprised if the airline allows her to fly with a passport that expires within 6 months of departure.
  8. Look under Settings, Additional Settings, Quick Ball and turn it off.
  9. I tried it a couple of years ago- total waste of money as stand-alone translator.
  10. "Of course to fully spoof firms like Fidelity you need a US phone number preferably matching your address in area code and logging in from the US not abroad." If you need a US phone number, you can try a service such as Hushed. It currently lets me receive verification SMS from most sites.
  11. Dentistry is not an exact science. Every individual and situation is different and you cannot just expect step 1..2..3 to always be the same. The experience related here is not unusual. 1. The decision as to whether the old filling should have been replaced depends upon the amount of remaining tooth structure, the status of the pulp, the allotted time that the dentist has and the patient’s cost preferences. (This may or may not have been clearly discussed before treatment started). The first temporary crown was not a custom-made, perfectly fitted crown and would have been cemented with a temporary type cement to allow removal at the next appointment. It is not unusual for this type crown to be dislodged by dental floss. It was simply placed to try to relieve discomfort and prevent further tooth loss. 2. At the second appointment, it may have been planned to complete the crown preparation, but upon removing the temporary crown, the filling also came out. This may or may not have been predictable. If the doctor was concerned about pulp vitality, he likely placed a sedative filling above the nerve and replaced the same or similar temporary crown. 2 weeks evaluation time is not unusual. And by 3D scan, do you mean an xray? An xray cannot determine the status of the pulp. 3. The tooth may have still been sensitive due to leaking margins from the temporary crown, but the dentist apparently determined that a root can treatment was not indicated. At this time I would guess that the tooth was prepared for the final crown and an impression was taken. A well-fitting acrylic temporary crown was fabricated directly on the tooth, and this would account for the “pushing and sanding”. The second person in the room would have been the dental assistant. 4. The doctor requested an evaluation in 2 weeks to ensure the pulp was ok (no sensitivity, no root canal required) before asking the lab to prepare the final crown. 5. This appointment I presume would be cementation of the final crown, whether the crown is semi-precious alloy, gold or porcelain. I would not recommend just leaving the temporary crown in place 6. I don’t see where a 6th appointment was needed, except a follow-up check.
