A patient presents with severe facial swelling on the left side following root canal treatment, along with pain and limited jaw movement. The RVG examination reveals steel cones used for root canal filling extending past the root apex. Extraction was advised after the swelling subsided and was performed 3 days later, followed by strong antibiotic coverage.
Shouldn't we be honest with the patient from the start about the tooth's chances of survival?
