Regardless of his title, he's the guy that performed my root canal.
"2.A panorex is not considered of diagnostic quality for evaluation of root canals, only a periapical radiograph."
I didn't get the panorex to evaluate my root canal. I got it so my remains could be identified in the event of a fiery airplane or helicopter crash.
But my root canal still looks pretty cool on it!
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.

***** If an Oral Surgeon does a root canal they are practicing beyond the scope of their practice and subject to sanction by their state board. There is a reason they advertise their “practice limited to oral/maxillofacial surgery”

*****Regardless, a dentist relies on a periapical film as standard of care in evaluating quality of root canals as a panorex does not provide sufficient detail.
Not nitpicking here just need to set the record straight.
