Message: [QUOTE="bfk39, post: 137466, member: 22252"] And, to elaborate as I don't have xrays at hand... these two teeth were treated with root canals initially. That did not resolve the pain I experienced but lessened it. The dentist who did the root canals relied on traditional x-rays for imaging and did not have more in depth options like a CT scan, which the endodontist I went to did employ to get a better view of these teeth. The endo was my second opinion given lingering pain. He determined the initial root canals did not reach the entire bottom/apex of these teeth, given the nerve channel within the tooth had a slight turn at the bottom and the tools used simply could not/did not get everything. He did not recommend re-treatment with root canals and moved to apico as the next option. [/QUOTE]
