A 72 year old patient had visited our family dental centre with destroyed upper front teeth. The patient wanted to remove the badly decayed front teeth because of pain. The patient was unaware of the fact that the teeth and the smile can be saved.
After examination and xray of the teeth the patient was made aware that the roots of the teeth are strong and that modern dentistry and advanced dental procedure can save very badly broken down teeth. The patient was happy to know that there is no need to remove the teeth and do expensive implants or bridge work

After Endodontic procedure the coronal part of the root canal filling is removed to place root canal post.
