In this economy, more and more general dentists are doing their own rcts.....and screwing them up.
If you ever need an rct on any of your middle to back uppers....GO TO A SPECIALIST.
Perforations on lower teeth can be fixed. A collapsed sinus is much more complicated.
*Shudder* Your posts are interesting. How does one prevent or help receding gums? I brush, floss, use anti-cavity mouthwash and the hygenist still says to me....”I see some more receding here....” It makes me depressed!
Following the placement of the gutta percha and the temporary filling, I saw the x-ray and a small portion of the gutta percha seems to have made it beyond the tooth and iscrimped over as if it went out the end of the hollowed root. Is this a problem I should be dealing with when the permanent filling is placed tomorrow? It is a lower tooth (#19 if memory serves). I am having zero pain now with it, since it dried out.
