Labial resorption defect
From: Terry Pannkuk To: ROOTS Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2011 8:08 AM Subject: [roots] Today's Case I had a consult day today and one working patient. This woman came in with this labial resorption defect mapped out on the CBCT. I initially recommended extraction/implant because of lousy remaining PCD, but after considering my imagination and 75% Survival + Failure rate on my statistically insufficient sample of retrospective amateurishly compiled recall cases, I decided to perform endo through the labial resorption defect without making a lingual access (sheepishly I admit it would have destroyed all PCD!) and then repaired the resorption defect with Geristore and cervically bonded Filtek. At the end I asked the patient if she was worried that my BF01 was grossly deficient. She told me that it was nothing that a little antiperspirant wouldn’t remedy. - Terry
