This gentleman presented with pain and swelling as well as probing to the apex on the distal aspect of the tooth. Many people would say the tooth was cracked. But we’ve saved many, many teeth that fit this profile. J-shaped ragiographic findings are not pathognomatic for cracked roots. The the embrasure right with the tipping of the back tooth will be tough. Amalgam is a better choice when we are down on bone with potential contact issues in the future. Removing fiber posts if you have a chairside assistant in the scope is a breeze. The tooth had some reasonable buccal and lingual tooth structure so it makes it a decent retreatment candidate when following the Retreatment Algorithm.
