Pulpectomy on tooth 21 (upper incisor) performed 110 days ago. Better, but far from perfect. Has not healed completely. Calciumhydroxide did not completely remove the abscess/pain/infection/inflammation....whatever you want to call it.
Endodontist says it won't become better after obturation, but recommends obturation over extraction.
Strangely enough, problems with tooth 21 came on immediately after extraction of tooth 46. Tooth 21 was followed by teeth 36 and 41.
Got headaches, but it is not clear from which end...all of these are connected to the trigeminal nerve.
Endodontist sees the cause in all these teeth becoming symptomatic quasi simultaneously in wrong occlusion resulting in occlusal trauma following tooth 46 extraction. Hence he advises against further extractions.
Complex problem. Not sure how to solve it.
