Sir, I felt a little Victor Meldrewish the other day when a patient phoned to complain about a filling I had placed some two hours earlier. He came in as an emergency having lost a small part of an otherwise intact disto-occlusal lower left six. I duly restored with amalgam only to hear from the patient later saying he was very unhappy with the colour match of the new amalgam! I really didn't believe it!
