This patient come to my office with severe pain. On examination there was a grossly decayed 46 which was tender on percussion & having no response to cold test . Xray shows a huge periapical lesion. A rct was planned.
Fig. 2
Rubber dam was placed then all the caries was removed ,access was made .
Fig. 3
There was a pulp stone in access which was removed by ultrasonic tips.
Fig. 4
Then access was packed with a teflon tape inside. Now time to proceed for a pre endo build up ,where sectional metal matrix band was used . Distal wall was made by composites,after checking the proximal seal.
Fig. 5
Remove the retainer ,band and wedge & give a temporary dressing & send the patient back . Due to time reasons I decided to stop the procedure and to continue the treatment in a second appointment.
Fig. 6
In the second appointment canal was negotiated and shaper with rotary sistem, four canals were find ,
Irrigation done by 5.25 % NAOCL % 17 % EDTA & normal saline as a neutral medium .
Activation of irrigants done by PASSIVE ULTRASONIC AGITATION by U files
Fig. 7
PLANO fron Style Italiano Endontics was used to organise Guttapercha in sequence as you can see in the pic.
Fig. 8
Obturation with warm vertical compaction was performed

CORE BUILD UP was done by composites . Going to place an indirect overlay later on as a permanent prosthesis .

Final xray shows the filling of the four canals and the buid up.
Conclusions
Endodontic therapy is a linear step by step procedure. from the diagnosis to the end all steps are important.
