I missed a hairline root canal when I RCT'd my patient. If I could've seen it, the endodontic infection would've been cured, and my patient would've kept her tooth. Instead, she got osteomyelitis of her brand new bone graft, and had to have a radical alveolectomy and an ICU admission. Now she needs a much larger bone graft, probably from her hip or tibia, plus an implant.
I guess this indicates why surgical microscopes are imperative for RCT. Why do so many GPs try to do them with only loupes?
Feeling really bad
