54 years old Male patient referred for assessment and treatment of #11
Chief complaint: “I feel pressure on my gum. I had trauma to this tooth approximately 40 years ago”.
Clinical findings: Percussion (+) slight / Cold (-) / EPT (80/80) / Mobility: WNL / Probing: WNL / Palpation: discomfort and slight swelling at the mucobuccal fold. Tooth is slightly discoloured…
Imaging findings: Pulpal obliteration and RL area at the apex. This area is compatible with an inflammatory process of endodontic origin. I also noticed a RO area compatible with the apical portion of the root (fractured).
Question:
