I saw my friend @karenpotterdds post about a molar HRF earlier today, then this patient walked in the door after. As far as I can recall it’s the first HRF on a molar I’ve seen. What are the odds? – This patient came in for #4, which has a split tooth that happened when she was eating the other day. This tooth will be extracted. – The PA and CBCT also show a on the P root of #3. Pt hasn’t had an opposing tooth for a decade. She denies a history of trauma. This tooth is asymptomatic and has a healthy vital pulp. The fracture pattern is favorable, remaining subosseous, preventing infection. No treatment is recommended for #3
