Subject: [roots] FW: #2 acute pulpitis
Im really exhausted today. Had a full day of conscious sedation in the oral
surgery clinic which made me glad I have a place to refer those really tough
3rd molar extractions EVEN WITH SEDATION.
But I got a call for 16 year old female, emergency on #2 acute pulpitis ,
in pain over a week. I fell into huge MB,ml canals but the mostof the
chamber was cursted over with a big ball of pulpstone like which covered the
distal floor. I prepped it down probing everywhere but tired out and filled
the mesials with CaOH and cavit.
She did have ortho treatment and was left a space mesially. THE original
problem was a large popcorn hull got lodged deep in the periodontium. That's
a lot of calification. I wonder what the tooth looked like before endo? I
wonder how much deeper to the canals.
Possible there are only two canals????
