Molar Endo with large restoration. Amalgam resto replaced due to compromised margins and decay. Coronal cracks also noted. Composite resin resto to achieve finished treatment. The goal is to maximize outcomes.

Retreat case with a lateral canal that created short working length reading and therefore instrumentation during initial treatment. There was a ledge feel on retreat due to that reading. A tricky case without CBCT. In this case the region apical to the lateral canal was filled with sealer that flowed from the buccal into the palatal canal.

Hit a stop on the MB2, however, we were able to fill the MB root anatomy after running GW. It’s nice to see these fills, hopefully the recall exams show good results.

I treated this tooth 10 years ago and thought I did a good job, having treated 4 canals. Clearly, I missed some anatomy towards the lingual of the distal root. I retreated the distal root 5 years ago. The tooth looks healed.

The CBCT image shows intricacy of the distal root anatomy, with 2 more canals. It also illustrates how my instrumentation philosophy has changed toward smaller shapes.
Still learning.

Deep decay at the distal and mesial of this maxillary 2nd molar. Single visit RCT and resto. Luckily we had reasonable access for treatment.

1 year recall on conservatively instrumented lower molar. Looks like things are healing adequately. Always good to see a nice outcome. A bit more healing to go.
