Determining Endodontic Success

Saving natural teeth is the goal of endodontic treatment so proper prognosis assessment is imperative before extraction or any dental treatment. In this module, Dr. Berman walks through his thought processes when evaluating endodontic potential and restorative implications of six different cases—some successful and some not. Topics include removing a silver point for re-treatment, invasive cervical root resorption, furcation bone loss, internal bleaching, necrotic pulp and the protocol for overfilling sealant.
