Subject: [roots] Last five cases in a row

As previously stated, these cases were all done with bent 10-25 ss k-files, exploration to length using M-4 handpiece
where appropriate, Protaper flaring, Lightspeed apical prep.  Irrigated with NaOCl/EtOH and Liquid EDTA and packed with
calcium hydroxide/Chlorhexidine.

Then re-cleaned and irrigated with NaOCl/EtOH, Smear Clear, and Chlorhexidine. Obturated with Resilon Simplifill and
Epiphany sealer, and backfilled with pacmac/resilon cone and Epiphany sealer.

Do you think we need to do a final irrigation with Chlorhexidine on vital cases? Or on the first appointment with either
vital or non-vital cases? - DanS

 

 

 

 

 


I like them all Danimal but I think the 4th one looks a little short on both canals.  I will say this that you get better
deep shape than most with LS and I like the puffs......dont know if Fred will!!

Very well done..........Glenn

Nice work as always, Dan

I've wondered about CHX in vital cases myself ...... it's probably superfluous. However, I would have thought that the
first appointment in necrotic cases was THE indication. In fact, my interappointment canal dressings are a combo of 2% CHX
and Ca(OH)2 - Simon

Simon, I mix my Ca(OH)2 with CHX also, but then I do a separate rinse at the second appointment right before filling.
Do you think I should do that rinse in the first appointment prior to placing my Ca(OH)2/CHX paste? - DanS

Dan, what are we going to do if Resilon turns out to be the junk Terry and others claim it to be? - Guy
Looks pretty good at two years, time will tell - DanS

Grinding them out, doing the best I can;
