#silverpoint retreatments can be hard. Not just th #silverpoint retreatments can be hard. Not just the technical skill and luck required, but simply the diagnosis and treatment planning. Look at this CBCT above and tell me you can evaluate anything about the surrounding bone and tissues. No way! Then look at the one below, which is an immediate postop with gutta-percha in the canals and note day and night how clear we can see. Endo is hard. We need the best tools! #cbct #seein3d #endodontics
