🦷 #18 — Cracked tooth with pulpal involvement

Tooth #18 presented with symptoms consistent with SIP/SAP associated with a deep distal crack.

RCT was completed with 3 canals obturated. Minimal hand filing was used, with a lot of trust placed in the ZenFlex Kerr Dental for shaping, followed by laser-activated irrigation with EdgePro Brasseler USA

A deep bonded core, following the principles described by Davis et al., was placed to help internally seal the distal crack. Occlusion was intentionally reduced.

The patient was referred back for definitive crown placement.

💥 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! 🕵️‍♂️

Saving the “Unsaveable” 🦷
Today’s case was a true test of persistence. Tooth #30 presented with persistent swelling and a mid-root perforation—a scenario that often leads to extraction.
After discussing the guarded prognosis, the patient chose to fight for their natural tooth. Our approach:
✅ Nonsurgical retreatment
✅ MTA repair of the perforation
✅ Bonded core build-up to seal the deal
We’re keeping the existing crown for now and monitoring closely. If the fistula resolves in the next two weeks, it’s a win for tooth preservation! - Completed by Dr Nugent
Follow-up: Re-evaluation in 14 days. Stay tuned for the healing results. 📈

#30 came in previously endo treated (shoutout to the in-house endo 👀). Not one, not two… but lesions around each root end — plus a bonus lateral lesion halfway down the mesial root just to keep things interesting.

Retreatment through the crown, 5 canals obturated… and yes, we went fishing for that middle mesial canal — because if you don’t look, you won’t find it. 🎯

Fast forward to follow-up: apical healing is evident and that lateral lesion has officially packed its bags and left.

Clinical win (for now)… and definitely worth the blood, sweat, and tears.

PS — glad we replaced the crown too… whew. 😅

#31 | SIP / SAP secondary to deep carious lesion

Sometimes the 17/04 ZenFlex files are exactly what you need for those curvy mesial canals 👌

A little sealer puff in the distal for style points 😌

Temporized with sterile sponge + Cavit.

Tooth is ready for crown.
