Description:
Dr. Pannkuk will perform a live apicoectomy with reverse-filling with a play-by-play narrative by Dr. Cliff Ruddle. A pre-surgical presentation will be given highlighting surgical principles and the plan for the specific patient being treated live. This will be a wonderful opportunity for online and live participants to ask real-time questions of both Drs. Ruddle and Pannkuk about the details of the procedure and the specific clinical events (unplanned and planned) as they unfold. A unique feature of PDL events is the uncensored expectation that participants will ask critical questions that require thoughtful and honest answers by the presenters and demonstrating live-stream clinicians.

Patient: 49 year-old female with a history of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, controlled hypertension
Pulp Diagnosis: Previous Root Filling
Periapical Diagnosis: Asymptomatic Periapical Abscess
Periodontal Findings: WNL
Percussion: WNL
The patient presented on 10/14/2009 with slight percussion sensitivity, moderate palpation sensitivity, and severe gingival inflammation with normal sulcular probing depths (associated with a mesial bridge abutment, the mandibular left first bicuspid). Radiographic findings revealed a lateral and a periapical radiolucency. The patient reported that root canal treatment had been performed in Russia a few years earlier. Root canal retreatment was performed and a Thermafil obturator was removed. A second root canal system was found that had been previously missed. Retreatment was performed in two steps with intracanal calcium hydroxide placed for one month before obturation via the vertical compaction of warmed gutta percha technique. The patient returned on routine recall examination prior to having the bridge removed in preparation for an implant treatment plan (4/2/2012). Marked osseous regeneration was noted on the radiograph and the patient was asymptomatic at this time. The patient returned for a recall examination on 1/14/2014 absent of symptoms and normal radiographic findings suggesting complete osseous regeneration. The patient returned for a third recall visit on 3/6/2019 with a periapical radiolucency confirmed on traditional and a CBCT scan. She was without symptoms but ready to have implants placed.
Surgical retreatment of the mandibular left first bicuspid was recommended.
