Mandibular molar with distal caries under crown: bitewing, access photos, root filling and 6.5-year recall

This patient was in for another tooth so we grabbed a followup of this case we performed 6.5 years ago. Pretty extensive distal caries under the crown. The wide platform lent itself to a truss access. Root-form appropriate instrumentation was completed. We used some bent ultrasonics for chamber cleanup and some bent pluggers to manage the amalgam utilizing a custom resin matrix. We can see the results of deep margin management over time.
