78-y-o F managed surgically.
This very pleasant 78-y-o lady presented with swelling associated with her crowned axillary right central incisor (1.1).
She was concerned about losing the crown, and I wasn’t sure how much coronal dentine lay beneath it. Despite the radiographic appearance, the margins were sound. The loss of dentine was non-carious.
I opted to go straight to surgery, as surgery appeared inevitable anyway.
Acteon EndoSuccess Apical Surgery tips in 3, 6, and 9mm lengths.
Canal irrigated with a small amount of 5.25% NaOCl and DualRinse, via a 30G side-venting needle.
Filled with TotalFill BCS and WellRoot PT bioceramic putty.
Histopathology confirmed the presence of a cyst.
Six-month reviewed carried out this week, and the area has healed very well. A very happy lady to be keeping her crown.
