I just got back from the dentist where I had my new crown put in.  The whole
process is somewhat like fitting a pinblock.  Two weeks ago he made a mold
of the space and sent away for the crown.  Tonight I went in to have it fit.
He would put the crown in place with something like a little piece of carbon
paper in between the crown and what remained of my old tooth.  He removes
it, and seeing where it left a mark, he would file away that part of the new
crown, then try again, until the marks are uniform.  Kind of interesting.  I
told him what he was doing was like fitting a pinblock to the plate flange,
and he said, "hmm, if you say so."  I thought you all would maybe get more a
kick out of it.

ps - I didn't ask about the becket.
