Asymptomatic Apical Periodontitis
From: Rafaël Michiels To: ROOTS Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2011 3:20 AM Subject: [roots] Time for a case. This was a case from this week. Asymptomatic Apical Periodontitis on a previously treated molar. Tooth is scheduled for a metal post/core and crown afterwards by the referring dentist. Hence the cotton pellet. Since it is not always certain that the patient returns to his dentist in time, I prefer to place some Permaflo Purple composite on the orificia. This way I know that at least the canals are sealed. Cleaning: NaOCl 5%, CA 10%, Alc 70% + CHX 0,5%, PUI Shaping: Protaper, Profiles and handfiles Obturation: Warm vertical condensation Kind regards - Rafaël
Nice case Rafael! Do you have a favoured way for removing GP? I often struggle with the apical third. - Nik
