John Doe, 1 March 2025
Dear Dr. Sarah Johnson,
Thank you for your referral regarding John Doe, who attended for an endodontic consultation on 1 November 2024.
Tooth #14 presented with pain and swelling. The patient reported tenderness upon biting.
Clinical examination revealed a non-vital pulp in tooth #14, with an existing amalgam restoration. There was no mobility, but periodontal probing indicated mild pocketing. The soft tissue appeared normal.
Imaging findings showed a periapical radiolucency at the apex of tooth #14, suggesting chronic apical periodontitis. The previous root canal filling was inadequate, with missed canals visible on the CBCT scan.
Diagnosis: Chronic apical periodontitis of tooth #14.
Prognosis: The prognosis is fair, considering the restorability of the tooth and the periodontal condition. Long-term success is contingent on successful re-treatment.
Recommended treatment plan:
- Re-treatment of the root canal system
- Intracanal medication with calcium hydroxide
- Recall period of 3 months to assess healing
- Possible need for surgical intervention if symptoms persist
Follow-up and next steps:
- Review appointment scheduled in 3 months
- Post-treatment care includes avoiding hard foods on the affected side
- Recommend final restoration with a crown post-treatment
Thank you for your referral. Please feel free to contact me if you require any further information regarding John Doe’s treatment.
Sincerely,
Dr. Emily White
