Dental Implant Chicago: Thank you for your support. There is definitely strong support for recalling cases, especially retreatment cases and cases with a preop diagnosis of necrotic pulp. We plan all patients with a preoperative radiolucency for either a 6 mo or 1 yr follow up.

That said, it is important that you understand the reason for posting these cases of persistent problems is to demonstrate the causes and errors of previous treatments that lead to failure. Most importantly, we want to showcase diagnosis and treatment planning for these situations to better help general dentists understand what an endodontist can (and cannot) do to help them and their patients.

Unfortunately, I feel endodontists are being left out of the treatment planning process; teeth are being treated incorrectly; patients are not being presented the opportunity of going to a specialist to either do it right first, or correct it later. The number of failed endodontically treated teeth being extracted for implant placement that would not have failed if treated by the right person or could still be saved is inestimable.

Additionally, we see many patients for dental evaluation after conventional treatment for sinus inflammation has been ineffective.

Thank you for the blog. The information have been provided in detail. One thing I can understand through this blog is that, even after a root canal, we should keep on watching the symptoms carefully as the problem may stay there still. Thank you doctor for sharing your experience with us!

This can be a very good research study as to how from the tooth the sinus problem is being tracked down.It is essential to get to the root of the disease to treat it surely.
