Tooth 26: Endo-Resto Continuum

Performed by: dr Stevan Kopanja


Abstract:

Female patient, 27 years old, came to my office with chief complaint on pain during biting and swelling. There was history of direct pulp capping by previous dentist almost 1 year ago. Treatment was performed in 3 visits. First visit: removal of previous restoration, conservative access, instrumentation of 4 canals [BM, BM2, BD, P], desinfection, calcium-hydroxide dressing. Second visit: after couple weeks sinus track was not present, all symptoms were gone,and obturation was done using AH+ sealer and gutta percha. In third visit we made final restoration: direct composite filling.

Orifices and chamber was closed with glass-ionomer cement, and final restoration was made with Filtek Ultimate composite.
