Hi,
These x-rays are actually for a relative of mine. She's 57 years old and a non smoker/drinker.
She's already showed her x-rays to three dentists and they all agree that the upper right central incisor and the upper left canine need a root canal. She's already booked her appointment and I'm not questioning the diagnosis or the treatment plan. I just like to know more about how to read dental x-rays and that's why I'm making this post.
I know the canine is broken and there's obviously the huge cavity that's quite near the pulp in the x-ray. Regarding the incisor, I can see the huge cavity but in both cases I can't figure out why they're in need of a root canal treatment.
I'm trying to learn what signs indicate the need for that treatment course, so any help is deeply appreciated.
Here are the x-rays:
Thank you
