Double trouble
The patient arrived in the office referred by a colleague. He was complaining of pain in the upper right jaw and losing the prosthetic restoration on 1.7.
After clinical examination and x-ray review, the following diagnosis was established: 1.6 - previously obturated root canals and localized symptomatic apical periodontitis and 1.7 - previously obturated root canals and inconclusive apical condition as stated in the new ESE and AAE classification.
1.7 also had a clinically infiltrated root canal obturation so the patient agreed to have root canal retreatments on both teeth.
After removing the old prosthetic restoration on tooth 1.6 and performing proper isolation, the coronal direct restoration was removed alongside the carious tissues on both teeth.
Following IPDS, freehand build-ups were performed on both teeth.
MB2 was scouted on both teeth using reciprocant and manual files.
Root canal obturation was removed and the canals were shaped using reciprocant and rotary files from NIC.
Irrigation was performed using NaOCl 5,25% and EDTA 17%, both activated using Endoactivator.
The endodontic system was obturated using modified WVC technique.
Coronal restoration was done using core build-up and fiber glass post.
Patient was advised to place prosthetic restorations. Waiting for recall.
