Saving a complex tooth. Swipe to see the progression.
A patient presented with significant pain. Our examination revealed deep mesial caries on the first molar, which extended down to the mesio-buccal root. Given the extent of the decay, saving the tooth was the absolute priority.
Our treatment plan was two-fold:
1️⃣ Root Canal Treatment to treat the underlying infection.
2️⃣ Deep Margin Elevation (DME) and a full mesial wall build-up. This was critical to establish proper isolation and prepare the tooth for a final, durable restoration.
This approach allows us to conserve natural tooth structure and ensure long-term health and function.
