Subject: [roots] Obstructed buccals on upper molar

Endo surely is not easy, and is even harder without the necessary tools. Still I love doing endo,
and I still dream to do only this in short time.
*This case :
  - sent by a dentist after pulpectomy, because the buccals were blocked. She placed in the palatal
    a sort of mummifying paste. You can see the pics.
  - not having US tips I used the LN bur and managed to find all the root canals....I know I removed
    much more dentin   than with a US tip, but I did my best with my tools
  - Single visit : 2 hours
  - Routine irrigation protocol : NAOCl 5.25 %, CHX 2 %, EDTA 17 %
  - Rotary : GG 4-3-2 ,  Profile .06 and afterwards beggining apically with hand file instrumenation
  - epiphany and resilon obturation

Hope it will be ok in time....The referral told me she will monitor the patient.
all my best regards,- ROBERTO

Roberto, Nice job,  do you have a scope yet?  How are you taking the pictures?
You sure have come a long way,  keep going,  the road is a nice one on which to  travel.   - Bill
