She says it hurts to chew and that the crown on #5 doesn&#8217;t seem to fit right. There is localized gingival swelling mesial to #5 as well as the presence of a sinus tract.<\/p>\n<p>Med Hx: ASA II. Well controlled Hypertension and Hyperlipidemia.<\/p>\n<p>Rx: Aspirin 81mg, Calcium, Pravastatin, Amlodipine, HCTZ, Buspirone HCL.<\/p>\n<p>Allergies: NKDA<\/p>\n<p>Hx of Current Illness: The initial treatment on #5 was completed in 2 appointments in the undergraduate clinic 9 months ago followed by immediate crown placement. The pre-op diagnosis was Symptomatic irreversible pulpitis with Symptomatic apical periodontitis. Her original chief complaint was to cold and chewing that was resolved with the root canal treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Radiograph assessment: Obturation appears to be short in the palatal canal. PDL and lamina dura present at both apices. Gutta percha traces to the PARL on the mesial surface of the root on #5. The crown margins and contours are well approximated to the tooth structure. No recurrent caries present.
