From: Terry Pannkuk To: ROOTS Sent: Saturday, November 21, 2009 7:54 AM Subject: [roots] First Scan How's this for a first scan on our Kodak. My assistant said her former employer did this endo 20 years ago. She's always been "aware" of the tooth but said it didn't really hurt. I took a PA of it in 2008 which is attached. I had noted the furcation radiolucency but didn't think it was enough evidence to retreat given her subtle symptoms and no signs of PA radiolucencies even though the canals were filled grossly short. The perio was fine. What should I think now? - Terryit looks like a perf to me - at the entry in the palatal canal. i mean distal:) - Sergiu what a fantastic tool!! Yes, I Itīs a strip perforation. And itīs not very clear in that slice but maybe MBII not treated previously. May I use this slide? Of course with full atribution - Javier Pascual Sure - Terry the dentine wall is either very very thin or perforated. I had a case like that myself - August Looks like a missed MB2 as well. - Awesome!! - Fred Terry, Do you still retreatament a consideration? - Joey D We are planning a nonsurgical retreat. Clearly an MB2 was missed. The PA's seem to show the inadequacies of the obturation in more detail because of the better resolution, but it's amazing how unequivocal the perf was. She still likes her former employer though and thought he was a nice guy. :):):) - Terry Terry, I wonder what she's gonna think of u if she has a flare-up :):) - Amir
