Just showing the amount of troughing and tissue removal to get into this
tiny little MB2 here. I used the EIE2 ball tip for the fine work, and
wasn't in a rush to block myself out :-)
First case in a long time where I have lifted out the entire necrotic
pulp in one piece, sadly missed the photo of that. - Bill Seddon




Nicely documented in pictures bill. I love the progression you showed. - Gary
Thanks Gary ,I'm crap at writing these things up, so just take the photos
and let people work-out what went on, I just hope it helps some people. - Bill
Speaking of crap, I don't yet have photo capabilities on my scope, but it didn't
stop me from trying. one of these days I hope to show the sequence of peeling
this stuff off the floor with proper documentation. I was pretty aggressive
searching for the mb2 since the case was necrotic. finally found it but the
image is useless. - - Kendel

sounds like an impacted second premolar. any scope for an ortho guy? - vipin
if you do not have capabilities,
Kendel, how did yoyu get this picture????!!!! ;-)) - Marcos
I have a 950. just took them without beam splitter or adapter. ;-) - Kendel
Extremely well done. I see no crap here. - gary
the photography---well, it ain't quite photography----but you know what I mean.
I've come to enjoy this process (peeling open these closed chambers).
Kind of like endo yoga. Hmmmmmmm. find the
furcal floor, plane, explore, seek, find...... be the calcified chamber........
find the easist orifice first (insert joke here), dark furcal dentin, amber
calcifications, whiter dentin ledges, then orientation just continues to improve
as you work on what you have found, following colors, contours. Patience is my
secret weapon. The irrigants help as well. The cycle of wetting/drying/planing.
I'm sure the more experienced folks can summarize this better. - Kendel
Patience is correct, I was an hour until I took a file anywhere in this tooth.
Lots of irrigants and planing before, and then the rest is just so much easier.
