The endodontic treatment is quite standard, but we would like to point out the soft tissue response of our repair at 6 weeks when the case was completed. The difference betweent he pre-operative photo and the 6 week follow-up is significantly different […]

Additionally, there is root resorption associated with the same root (see red arrow). Due to circumstances outside of our control, we did not complete this case for 6 months. We were happy to see that not only did we achieve complete bony healing, but […]
