Some of you may remember this case as one of the cases I put on my web site around the
1st of the year.  The first three pictures are the day of the treatment.  The fourth
picture is today's 6 month recall.

I was really pleased to see the healing.  This tooth went from a class 2 mobility and
10mm perio pockets to having mobility being WNL and 5mm pocket depth.  I was most
surprised to even see the patient back at all, because on the original day of tx,
he told me he was "leaving for a while"  and wanted it done "today."

Since I am at the VA Hospital, I know what " leaving for a while"
usually means...   :-)   And so I filled it that day.

Hi Sashi,

Thanks... only 1 distal root, and both mesials were filled.  See second final shot below. -Jeff
