Root Canal Procedure on Calcified Canals.
Case Study Number 317736
Patient referred for pre prosthetic endodontic treatment on mandibular first molar.
Preoperative X ray dental film shows a complete mineralization of both mesial part of pulp chamber and mesial canals as well as a complete stenosis of distal canal(s?)
Dental operative microscope and ultrasonic tips where most helpful in locating both mesial and distal canal entries. First instrument in four canals are K files number 06 (second X ray dental film)
Third X ray dental film (Clark’s rule) shows all four treated canals.
Amalgam corono apical core build up (no post) is planned plus a crown.
Wow! As an Endodontist and a Proergo user myself I am always amazed when another colleague achieves this kind of results similar to the ones we get in our office, because I know how hard it is! Proergo is the way to go is all of Dentistry> BRAVO Pierre, hats off for you!
Thank you for your nice comment Ernest, I am also glad to meet somebody to share the passion with. I have been using the Proergo from Zeiss for 5 years now. It is quite a piece of technology. I just can’t think of doing difficult endo without it now.

My I hope to call someday “friend” Pierre:
Sorry it took so long to respond to your nice response. Around my neck of the woods my work with the Pro-Ergo is really not quite well appreciate it. But I don’t mind, i keep doing it any way and whenever I see masters like you doing that kind of work, my only comment would be: ” If I can only wish to achieve that kind of results like yours”. with all the risk of sounding corny. Keep the good work my friend!
Sharing a passion and jousting side by side to promote our vision of better dentistry, what more may we ask to become friends ? I guess we have no choice but to hold still as long as it shall take for others to gain more awareness of the microscope in endodontics. I sincerely think it shall happen. Ernest, my friend, I do not see myself as a master, with the PRO Ergo anyone caring enough about his patients may obtain those outcomes. Keep on the good work!
