Subject: RE: [roots] Another Diseased White Line Puzzle-Puzzle 2

Great to see you online Alexandros!

I don't think it's perfed, just ledged; but we'll see where this goes.  I'm a great fan of showing the oddest
things I can with the most unusual treatment considerations.   Please don't ever consider what I suggest
to be a cardinal rule.    I break rules when I see fit.   I found this case to be an interesting opportunity to
discuss the appropriate time to judge failure.

Here are some good follow-up questions for this puzzle case:

1.  How soon do you determine a case as failed?  1 week, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or longer?
2   Do you extend the period of healing/failure if it is your case? :)
3.  What demarcates a failue? .....are you more liberal about condemning a treatment if it is yours?
