Here are all the images of the first surgery from one of my first yr postdocs......

#11. Draining sinus tract. CaOH for 1 month until she finally returned for surgery. Obturation and surgery in same visit.
Pt. returned today one week after surgery to have her sutures removed. It took me some time to suture under the microscope
but it payed off. I am happy with the healing but the tissue adaptation could have been a little bit better. I scheduled
her to have a correct restoration placed and also asked her about the temporary on #9 but she left it at home and didn't
want me to do anything...   Benedict

Lovely documentation and execution.  Couple of questions.

Why the decision to go to surgery after only a month of Ca(oh)2?  Would a longer period of Ca(oh)2 not have got the tract
to heal?
Is there a path report from the lesion?
