Perforation Repair Recall Exam.

Iatrogenic, Resorption May 1st, 2006

Pulpectomies done.

I was referred this patient over a year ago. His dentist had inherited the root canal situation from a previous dentist (the patient had recently switched GP’s). The current dentist did a couple of pulpectomies and placed calcium hydroxide in the canals. He found a perforation in the root of the central incisor.

After obturation.
This is after I finished the root canals and sealed up the perf in the central. I was not able to go any further apically because of excessive bleeding. Electronic apex locator readings consistently indicated periodontal ligament at the level of obturation.

1 year recall.

This is a one year recall film that shows significant signs of osseous healing. Looks like some apical resorption has occurred at the tip of the lateral incisor.
