An Old Case.
Dentistry April 10th, 2007
It’s a slow day at work today (I’m not complaining) so I was just organising some of my archived cases and ran across this one. I don’t think I’ve posted it before.
It was done years ago and since then I’ve developed some very aggressive techniques to blast through calcified canals and blocks like these. I’m also more careful to not block myself in canals by packing dentinal debris into the apical third like I did here. The case showed some promising signs of healing a few months after obturation though. Working and obturating to a more ideal length would have been purely radiographically aesthetic in this case.
I actually know a number of my peers that would have automatically surgerised this case to present a nicer result to the referring dentist.
