RE: [ACEsthetics] What would you do for this patient?

George obviously has had better luck with these than I have.  I’ve always ended up with a weekend visit to treat excruciating pain and then fighting through that set MTA.  Of course I still try this, especially on very young patients but on older (teens) it seems to  always fail.  I’ll plug the apex and a week later fill the rest of the canal on older patients and often have to do conventional endo on very young patients.

Fantastic the array of responses here. Quite a bit of variation.

 

My reason for posting this case is the reason that I referred it to endo: I didn't think the apex had finished forming on #4, and so my thought was apexogenesis #4 rather than RCT. Attached is the response from my endodontist with patient's ID info removed.
