Case description
This 25 year-old patient was referred for a root canal treatment following a first aid treatment given by her general dentist.
An access cavity was prepared, followed by coronal glidepath preparation by gates-gliden 2, 3, 4.
Canal shaping was performed by #10 hand file, Pathfile 0.13, SAF 1.5/25mm, with continuous NaOCl irrigation.
Obturation was done by a hybrid technique - lateral compaction with AH+ sealer and guttapercha, and then backfilled vertically by warm GP.
The x-ray photos present how the two separate canals combined into one C-shaped canal in the apical third. The penetration of the obturation material into the isthmus between the canals illustrates the high level of cleanliness.
The 5-months follow-up x-ray shows reduction in the apical lesion and significant bone buildup.
