When canals are calcified!!!! Tooth 36 had asymptomatic apical periodontitis (first radiograph) Patient requested single visit rct for medical reasons. A very long 2 hour appointment and all canals MB ML D canals located through the existing crown. MB and ML= X2 and D=X3 Irrigation sodium hypo 6% EDTA 15% GP and sealer used to fill canals (2nd radiograph) look at the lateral anatomy associated with the periapical lesions which encompass the root end! 3rd radiograph 13 month review and healing is underway. Despite small apical sizes healing is going well and the patient has good dentine remaining! #workinglengthmoreimportantthanworkingwidth

Working length is a priority and getting the irrigants to reach the length
