RCT

Patient in the middle of 30’s complaining of frequent sharp pain when drinking cold or hot drinks from her upper right first molar [#16], biting on causes discomfortable due to food getting stuck in between her teeth and gums.

Patient left the tooth untreated for 2 month, then returned with severe lingering pain especially when drinking hot drinks, including touching it even slightly with her tongue causes severe pulsing pain.

Treatment was done in less than 60 minutes under local anesthesia and rubber dam to isolate the molar, MB2 was found under dental microscope, root canal was disinfected and shaped using ProTaper NEXT® rotary file [X2], then obturated using heat treated vertical condensation technique with resin based sealer AH Plus®, then finally covered with glass ionomer temporary filling as her gums needs to be treated before her final filling.
