I have been in Philadelphia for nearly a month now, attending the continuing dental education course in endodontics at the Penn Dental School, University of Pennsylvania. Dentists from all parts of the world come to this ivy league university to update knowledge on the current concepts and techniques in endodontics. Really thankful to have reliable staff and fellow colleagues as temporary doctors to be in my practice while I am away. I'm almost done packing to go home now but not looking forward to my 24 hour flight...
The above radiograph showed a lower right second molar which seemed unrestorable, with a perapical lesion. Bacteria in the root canal system was eradicated during the root canal treatment to a level that allow healing of the periapical lesion and the tooth remained in function to date.
US is great but home is still the best!
