💥 Smooth surgery on tooth 30, intact crown, rock-solid seal! 🦷✨

Surgical endodontics is all about precision under pressure. Here is a quick breakdown of today’s successful apicoectomy on a lower first molar:

The Surgical Playbook 🛠️

Resection: Took down the mesial root ends of tooth 30 cleanly.
Prep & Seal: Thorough retroprep followed by a flawless bioceramic seal. 🧱
Regen: Placed a bone graft to kickstart healing. 🦴
Closure: Sutured up perfectly while keeping the original crown completely untouched. 👑

Next Steps 🗓️
The patient is healing smoothly and will be back in exactly one week for suture removal. After that, we transition to long-term radiographic monitoring to watch that bone fill in! 🕵️‍♂️

Saving the “Unsaveable” 🦷
Today’s case was a true test of persistence. Tooth #30 presented with persistent swelling and a mid-root perforation—a scenario that often leads to extraction.
After discussing the guarded prognosis, the patient chose to fight for their natural tooth. Our approach:
✅ Nonsurgical retreatment
✅ MTA repair of the perforation
✅ Bonded core build-up to seal the deal
We’re keeping the existing crown for now and monitoring closely. If the fistula resolves in the next two weeks, it’s a win for tooth preservation! - Completed by Dr Nugent
Follow-up: Re-evaluation in 14 days. Stay tuned for the healing results. 📈
