If we are doing an over-denture abutment tooth RCT with NO rubber

of cotton forceps in one hand at all times, and no one is allowed to
distract us. If the patient cannot sit *real* still, we start tying floss
to each file. Rotary files at least don't slip out into the mouth.


Then do what endo buddy and me do...

You ain't gonna like it though, *clamp the bone* !
It will heal just fine, try to stay in the attached tissue.

Afterall this is an OD abutment right ?
Or would that be an OCD abutment <vbseg

hey guys... It's been almost two weeks since RCT and everything seems
OK. I was informed today that my insurance will not cover the cost of
a post and will only partially pay for the crown, and therefore I'll
have to pay $250 out of my own pocket. Is there any alternative, e.g.,
simply replacing my temp filling with a permanent one, or is a crown
ALWAYS done after a root canal? This is an upper first molar and I'm
not concerned about cosmetics.

I'll get the crown if I must but I could really use the money for
frivolities like gas, rent and groceries
