Going Deep…
Bonded amalgam in this one. Gave the RD the option for a deep elevated margin, which he did not exercise.

Maxillary molar with a narrow platform.

Mid-Mesial Joiner
This tooth had a mid mesial portal of negotiation. Looking at cbct’s of lower molars, there’s often a concavity that makes aggressive shaping of these teeth risky. Root form appopriate instrumentation of these mid mesial canals is usually pretty conservative, especially when they join (no reason to hog it out if it does).
“T”!
This is a primary tooth (T), I treated 7 years ago. Looks like it’s still hanging in there. Primary teeth have very thin roots so large shapes are contraindicated. This is one of the teeth that helped shape my ideas about root form appropriate instrumentation.
A Rad First Post
While still trying to figure out the intricacies of webdesign and blogging, I needed to have a first post, and of course I wanted it to be rad. Luckily today, a Radix Entamolaris came in for a complete. I love it when I get patients who are part of a referring doctors dental team. They are discerning, and I’m always honored when they choose me.
