Perforation Repairs - Case 2

Although the RCT is less than ideal, the main issue here is the distal furcal lesion, likely due to perforation. The distal root can have a very thin furcal wall at times due to an invagination of the root's circumferential outline in the furcal area.

It was decided to focus on this issue first to see if it could be repaired. Through the scope, the post was removed and the perforation visualized. It was then debrided and disinfected. MTA was used to seal the area.

This recall film is at 6 months showing good healing, but not yet complete. It takes quite some time to have complete healing of these larger areas, usually about a year. The patient is completely asymptomatic and has no clinical signs of disease.
