32 PFZ crown completed in tooth 32, occlusal forces lesion has healed, however
a timely manner to avoid cannot be directed down the slight widening of the PDL
coronal leakage long axis of the root, resulting can be seen (possibly due
in higher risk of root fracture to occlusal trauma)
or crown loosening, therefore
preservation of the dentinal
structure during root canal

treatment is especially crucial
in these cases

Upon careful examination, a white-in-white dot can

be seen at 41 mid-root, which corresponds with the
sinus tract opening pre-op. This further confirms that

lateral canals can exist along the entire length of the
root and not just in the apical thirds.
