Dr. Kara recently completed root canal treatment on tooth #31 which presented with some unique complex anatomy (Dx: PN, SAP). Radiographic analysis showed a main mesial canal and then a separate distal infolding penetrating through the root with its own apical foramen. Based on Oehlers’ classification (1957), this appears to be a Type IIIb dens invaginatus (DI). The DI had an open apex, therefore apexification was performed and it was sealed apically with bioceramic putty. Teeth can have such variable anatomy!

Our team is wishing you a Happy Easter weekend. Our offices will be closed today and this weekend so that our team may spend the holiday with their families. We will reopen on Monday for our regular hours!
