Thanks, Andy. The patient is a Ford employee who needs lots of things done and for the last year has just been buying time with her dental work due to likely being one of many permanently layed off. If things
change for her &#36 wise we will look at the endo again but if it stays stable …..???

Would you go ahead and retreat?

Well, my last one was about 1996 so if it gets redone it won’t be by me Andy,If you look at the image w/ the gp it is a much better angle and doesn’t look too bad.

Glenn, I think you may be right. Just thinking out loud here but looking at the 2 xrays, I’m thinking the 2nd is taken more from the mesial (B roots on the molar seem to have moved more distally) and more of a concavity is seen on the distal. So… maybe a palatal canal was treated originally on the Bi and when I went in with the laser I zapped the bugs left behind around the buccal canal ( and with ndyag penetration possibly in?). This will just have to remain speculation for now as I don’t think my patient would let me extract it or cut into the bridge at this point to prove it.
