Final X-Ray:

Case Summary:

Tooth #3 diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis with symptomatic apical periodontitis. DB and palatal roots were easily negotiable. The MB and MB2 took a lot patience, c files, and RC prep. I was able to prepare the MB to a 30/.04 and the MB2 to 25/.04.

Files & Products Used:

C-files and K-files. EdgeFile rotary files. Gutta percha with vertical compaction using calamus.

Additional X-Rays & Extras:

Gnarly indeed! Impressed with how dense the fill is all the way to the end of those crazy mesial canals. Thank heavens for you endodontists who are as twisted as those mesial canals! What do you attribute to that extra radiopaque spot right near the bend in the mesial canals?

Interesting case. That's a crazy curve.

​Most likely radiographic overlap of MB1 and MB2.
