The first X-ray shows a tooth with extensive bone loss. 99% of dentists would see this xray and recommend this tooth for extraction. We managed to save this tooth using laser assisted periodontal therapy, root canal therapy and wire splinting. The 2nd X-ray is taken 4 years after treatment. Thanks to Dr. Demetrick LeCorn and Dr. Judd Reed for their part in this case!
