💥 Smooth surgery on tooth 30, intact crown, rock-solid seal! 🦷✨
Surgical endodontics is all about precision under pressure. Here is a quick breakdown of today’s successful apicoectomy on a lower first molar:
The Surgical Playbook 🛠️
Resection: Took down the mesial root ends of tooth 30 cleanly.
Prep & Seal: Thorough retroprep followed by a flawless bioceramic seal. 🧱
Regen: Placed a bone graft to kickstart healing. 🦴
Closure: Sutured up perfectly while keeping the original crown completely untouched. 👑
Next Steps 🗓️
The patient is healing smoothly and will be back in exactly one week for suture removal. After that, we transition to long-term radiographic monitoring to watch that bone fill in! 🕵️♂️
