Subject: no apical patency

This case was frustrating because I never could get a file to the apex.
When this happens, I always wonder if I blocked myself out and had taken
more time in the beginning would I have gotten patency.

Whenever I don't get patency, I push harder than usual with the pluggers,
because I'd love to see some sealer squirt into where I couldn't get a file.
It happened in this case.  The pt should be in for recall soon.

Sashi,

I can't remember what I did on this one specifically.  I usually just coat
the GP cone.  But like most of my technique, that will sometimes change
depending on how I feel that day.  :-)

It will heal despite no patency  just like the similar attached case

Nice case yourself!

I did figure mine had a good chance of healing when I saw the puffs of sealer.
I'll post the recall when (if) I get the patient in our clinic.

Jeff, are those x-rays that you took with the coolpix 950 and 'slide scanner'?

I took those xrays with D-speed dental film and "copied" them onto digital
with the Nikon Coolpix 950 plus the Happenstance slide "copier"
