This goes in the win column…i.e. from a Rick Schwartz ITT standpoint, this tooth might be yarded out.

Response letter to Root Cause
What a weak, sad reply from these three presidents. There are 1000 reasons to not be a member of the AAE, and now…1001. Dr. Cole, I sit here with my ADA dues statement wondering what I'm paying for. No wonder the evidential base for endodontics, and more broadly dentistry, is in such poor shape with […]
Injection-molded ferrule resurrection w/o endo
RD removed crown and reported resorption under crown, but it looks just like decay. She got it cleaned up and sent it for endo. We ordered CBCT, and couldn't see any evidence of any other resorptive areas, but a lot of artifact. We also noted a screening finding on the asymptomatic #2. We removed the […]
How to actually use the Gonon/Ruddle post removal system
https://schwed.com/product/gonon-post-remover-system/ https://www.endoruddle.com/PRSd Don't use the trephines. Taper the post in the microscope with a round-ended, tapered diamond like the 856-016 in the CK diamond access kit. http://www.clinicalresearchdental.com/products.php?product=Clark-Khademi-Diamond-Endodontic-Kit%2A https://www.sswhitedental.com/index.php/product-kit-instruments Use the 856-016, 859-010 needle diamond to cut away all the coronal restorative that would interfere with rotation of the post. Taper the post with the diamond. […]
The problem with endodontics is endodontists
Kinda like…right in line with what we talked about over the weekend. Looks like a few days of looking at Roots to Perfection…
SS White V-Taper2 14/V.03 mesials followup on 25mm brick lower molar
Dentist in for another tooth earlier this year. I had just received the SS White 14/V.03 back then, and thought I might try them on this 25mm brick. EG4 to help find the D. Mesials to #10 HF at first visit, symptoms resolved…but I still can't figure out how to fill a #10 hand-file shape. […]
“In for another tooth”
The subtitle is: "How endodontics has been misled for decades by 3 year followups." Sent for #13 by one of my best RDs that does partial coverage gold. I hogged out #18 in 2002 (her clown RD who I fired over a decade ago started it and bashed the access for me), gutted #19 later […]
GentleWave lectures @ TDO
I was a little underwhelmed with the overall quality of evidence in the GW presentations at TDO, with many cases shown as process-outcomes in cotton/cavit and no followup. That said, I'm not expecting five year followups from clinician who have had the device for 18 months, but from an evidential standpoint, presenting cases in setting […]
Kinda self explanatory
Done in Denver a few months ago. These are actually quite difficult…but the materials, instruments and techniques conventionally taught make it even more difficult. We've had so many things so backwards for so long.
