This patient came in the other day for RCT #18 due to irreversible pulpitis. This gave us a 6-year recall on tooth #19, which I treated in 2013. . In 2013 she was referred to me to evaluate #18 for a possible vertical root fracture that the dentist suspected due to an isolated probing to the apex on the mesial root. . My thoughts today are that this patient is lucky because many dentists would have extracted #18 thinking it had a , placed a , then later extracted #19 when they found out it was failing and placed another implant. She is so much happier to keep her natural teeth. – Im also glad to see how much more conservative endodontic shapes have become. I likely used in 2013, and the shapes from last week are

My thoughts today are that this patient is lucky because many dentists would have extracted #18 thinking it had a #verticalrootfracture , placed a #dentalimplant , then later extracted #19 when they found out it was failing and placed another implant. She is so much happier to keep her natural teeth. –
Im also glad to see how much more conservative endodontic shapes have become. I likely used #protaper in 2013, and the shapes from last week are #vtaper2h .
