Non-Surgical Root Canal Re-Treatment LL6
The combination of a failing crown and a suboptimal root canal filling lead to treatment failure, successful re-treatment procedures gave this patient a good outcome.
Pre-op PA of LL6 reveals a crown with a poor distal margin, poorly filled root canals and large periapical radiolucencies
Immediate post-op PA, the crown was removed to prevent re-entry of bacteria distally and allowed for better visualisation of the pulp floor
One year post treatment review, good bony healing is evident and a new crown with good margins is preventing re-entry of bacteria
