From: Siju Jacob To: ROOTS Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 11:12 AM Subject: [roots] Calcified chamber Here is another case I finished this week. Mandibular second molar. Referral started the case and referred it because he couldn't find one mesial canal and couldn't negotiate the other. Patient reported with severe pain. Pictures are self-explanatory. I couldn't get the sensor to full depth. had to rely on films. Patient has very poor general periodontal health. I've referred her to periodontist - Siju
Thanks Siju for the great pictures of what I see in my general practice and get hung up on. Had one just yesterday as a matter of fact, that had a chamber looking just like that - Caraig Harder Fantastic documentation and work! Looks like you are ready to take on a REAL calcified case now. LOL Seriously, although your case isn't that calcified compared to some cases out there, it was calcified enough to throw you off your game if you don't know what you are looking for. I'm sure you are well equipped to handle some of the more brutally calcified cases because of how your brain catalogues the color cues learned from cases like this - Mark
