Healed case :tooth # 11:Tooth # 21
From: Roberto Cristescu To: ROOTS Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 2:09 PM Subject: [roots] healed case Just did this consult. And it reminded me of what Valeri is keep on telling here, that we see treatments performed not following the most common endodontic principles and still they are a success. Look at tooth 11 , short filled (probably 3 mm) and asymptmatic, no lesion. While tooth 21, had already an endodontic treatment and an apical surgery and is symptomatic and failing. So, what is the lesson to be learned here ? - RobertoTooth 11: not infected before tx or was properly disinfected. Tooth 21: infected--intra-radicular, extra-radicular, root fracture, ??? I suggest reading the paper on Cognitive Dissonance in Endodontics. But, we need to think like scientists. - Fred As they say on Euronews - NO COMMENTS from my side :-) One could not have a better proof than what is seen in Roberto's patient.RX ! Just keep in mind what Charles Wise said about dental implants back in 1970ies. - long before "pseudo science" of "his majesty" Branemark emerged on horizon. ( apposition of bone over Titanium was reported by orthopaedic surgeons in 1950ies ! ) - Valeri
