I began seeing this patient in 2014. Tooth #14 was diagnosed with a vertical root fracture at that time and the tooth was removed and the site grafted. He then presented in 2015 with a VRF of #15. It was removed and we discussed an implant in the #14 site. He did not follow up […]
The patient is now 89. Looks like it’s time to do a root resection.
If you ever get an opportunity to work with Tucker gold people, take it….because they do dentistry that lasts a lifetime. This is some work from Phil Timmins, a Tucker gold guy.

We did multi-visit endo on both teeth with #3 becoming completely comfortable right away, and #14 taking some time to settle […]
When a biofilm attaches to root cementum, it can undergo a calcification process very similar to what occurs with a Sialolith. A Sialolith is a calcified biofilm. These accretions are calcified biofilms. They’re calcified masses of microorganisms. On TDO, we have looked carefully over the years at these root accretions because they play a role […]
In today post recent symptoms on this tooth I retreated in 2010. Short-term followups from 2010, 2011, 2012 and then broken today. If you're not seeing your own failing cases, someone else is. Don't trust any endodontist that can't show you his own failing cases. On Tue, Jul 31, 2018 at 3:18 PM, Gary B. […]
