21 had history of repeated surgery and apicoectomy and still a progressing lesion Treatment Done GP removal done with a braiding technique. Though removing a single cone in an incisor is easy, in this case the risk of pushing the GP out is quite high. CBCT showed resorption (irregular defect by 2mm) After cleaning and […]
– Deep distal decay and 2° caries in the mesial – Truss access planned – The truss of dentin in between may help with some cross-stabilization on an otherwise badly decayed tooth. – Even in the case it doesn’t quantify to a significant number, all my therapeutic goals have been met with and I had […]
#16 – Root canal retreatment This one had a firm and corroded silver point (1) which had a full length engagement and a H-file (2) Missed MB2 canal and a badly gouged floor (3) Treatment done (1) Silver point carefully removed by creating space around it and a custom loop (2) U-file to remove the […]
#27 Partial re-treatment of MB2 canal 1) H/O RCT 5yrs bk 2) Exploratory endodontic access revealed a blob of GP in the area where the MB2 should be 3) Pre-op revealed a BF which I missed and I introduced another rotary file into the orifice and it separated as well 4) Both files retrieved with […]
36 Re-endo Someone has attempted something like a truss a decade back i guess. Restorability assessment Pulp chamber cleaned up Pre-endo Build-up GP removed in all 5 canals and shaped followed by CaOH Distal canal with internal resorption Obturation –Â WVC
#46 with caries involving the DL cusp. The amount of tooth structure that would be lost if a conventional SLA access is opted for unimaginable. But i did have SLA in this case as well but from the back 😉
This one had Significantly large irregular canals. Palatal canal obturated with a squirt to get a 3-D fill and the buccal canal with a large POE obturated with MTA at the apical 3rd and back-filled with GP. Done in 2-visits.
27 – routine exploratory access to assess prognosis prior to re-endo Clinical Picture suggestive of over-zealous preparation and yet a lot of necrotic tissue inter-twined with the GP
Pre-op Clinical # in the distal wall Perforation Palatal canal located Buccal canal located Perforation site prepared Slim preparation to prevent further dentin lossÂ
