Here is the outside the box thinking i was referring to. How many of us consider intentional replant for failing root canals? This is my 1 extraction for the year and a great option for that specific case where we can possibly still save a tooth.

In school we were taught if a root canals fails we need to either 1. Retreat 2.apico 3. Extract. We were not really taught to think outside the box 📦. I will post a video that shows outside the box thinking.

Where is the real apex? Sometimes when there is a dead stop there is an exit somewhere.

We finally got a 98 percent save!!! And that we did. Treated 31 2 years ago. Patient wanted to wait on 30. Treated 30 1 year ago and now we have full healing! Root canals work!

This is a great case to share. Number 3 was treated endodontically. Lesion persists apical to number 3 db root. Fistula traced to 3 db root. Asked to see what we should do. 48 percent said to apico 3 db root and 52 percent said to treat 2 endodontically. I really was hnsure of the best treatment for this patient. I decided to treat number 2 as it was non vital and had periapical lesions and needed treatment anyway. Look at that mb puff leads directly from 2 to 3!!! Sometimes we question if teeth are connected. Here we see clearly there is a connection from 2 to 3. Please share this case as it is very telling for future difficult diagnostic cases.

Why do we need 3d imaging in endodontic diagnosis? Look how many of us(including mysef) want to do treatment based on 2 dimensional imaging.

This is a straight forward case to save a tooth! 15 year follow up with complete healing after db root apicoectomy and mb root amputation. Almost 20 percent of people wanted to take this out!

55 percent want to extract this 25 mm lower canine. Saving teeth is still an option.

Once again is cbct or 3d imaging important in endodontic diagnosis? From 50/50 to almost 90/10. Thats a major difference in treatment. We need to see what we are treating!
