Charles Lo Giudice I posted about this case a week ago. Her periodontist called #9 hopeless and was all set to extract it and do a bone graft. She wants to keep her tooth as long as possible. She was fully informed of all possible consequences and wanted to proceed with a crown. When the preparation was completed, two red spots appeared on the labial axial wall. There was no bleeding noted. Initially Theracal was placed over the spots but discretion seemed to be the best approach and Endodontic therapy was done to prevent the almost certain onset of post operative pain. This patient is not a happy person. The first time I have seen her smile was when she looked at her tooth in a mirror. We'll see how long this lasts. The extraction and bone graft can always be done when this fails. This is not a Bill Marais quality job, but it is a huge improvement over the pre operative situation. The software had similar issues with this tooth as it has when proposing an implant crown in an edentulous space. But she has a low lip line. This was Biocopy from a waxup. Not the best stain and glaze job. The assistant chose the wrong Programat CS setting and three bakes were necessary but the patient is thrilled.
