Subject: RE: [roots] Another odd consult today

Terry, being banded now in an attempt to deprogram me and restore my upper arch and lower left, I know that
ortho in a 66 yo old works rapidly with modern Damon brackets.  I was locked in CR and beating the crap out
of my joint clinching.  They banded me and placed a NiTi wire and I was end to end the next morning with an
inability to clinch.  My point is that if this is not going to extract the tooth, ortho is a viable treatment
with an implant.  The bicuspid is history.  Hey, 66 is NOT old.  I’ve got a lot of bitching yet to do - Guy



I agree with Guy. She can also go in for a sectional ortho; without even bonding the anteriors.
Terry, the tooth looks like a retained deciduous canine to me!  - Vipin

No ECIR and invading clasts after that? :):):)  Seems like an idea. At least her perio maintenance seems good.
The overcontoured mesial contact of the molar certainly needs to be stripped back. Pushing those tilted molars
back would certainly be a stretch.  A CBCT would definitely be in order to figure out where the mental
foramen/mandibular canal is to see if that impacts ideal placement of an implant - Terry
