Missed MB2 : K files: NaOCL: EDTA

From: Rafaël Michiels To: ROOTS Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 7:51 PM Subject: [roots] A classic! this is the good old missed MB2, ...and maybe some other stuff :). In other words, the classic stuff. Patient was referred for endo on 25. My advice: extraction of 25 and retreatment on 26. I did the 26 in 2 visits, with Ca(OH)2 as an interappointment dressing. There was some resorption on the mesiobuccal root. Everything was shaped with protapers, and apically I enlarged with K-files. Lots of NaOCl, EDTA final rinse and PUI throughout the treatment. Cold lateral condensation. Too bad about the somewhat less dense condensation apically in the palatal canal :/ However, I love to compare the preop and postop, that gives me the satisfaction in doing this job :) - Rafaël PS. sorry for the quality of the third RX, took a wrong plate.

Definitely satisfying to find MB2!! A PacMac would be really helpful when doing cold lateral to 'warm' things up and create more dense root fillings - Fred Yeah, I guess I should have used them here, especially in the palatal canal. Although I do not use pacmac condensors, but the guttacondensors from maillefer. Never tried the pacmac condensors - Rafaël
