

 Root canal therapy of the teeth with irreversible pulpitis/necrosis of the pulp o After sensitivity tests, tooth # 31 was also diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis. So teeth # 31, 30 are treatment priorities due to patient’s pain.  All active caries should be restored with temporary restorations. o Teeth # 14, 21 should be restored.  Tooth # 17 has a class I restoration and distal caries plus a distal pseudo pocket. There is no counter tooth and the lesion is difficult to reach for restoration treatment, so it is suggested that the tooth is extracted.

 Supra and sub gingival scaling and root planning should be done.  Prognosis of tooth #4 should be determined after the removal of the defective crown and underlying caries.  Patient’s oral hygiene should be assessed and redirected to a better self oral care.  Follow ups are needed.

 Fixed prosthodontics restoration for teeth with surface loss/root canal treated. o Teeth # 31, 30, 14 are best restored with single full coverage crowns due to severe tooth surface loss.  Final restoration of tooth # 21 with composite.  Final esthetic treatments with patients agreement o Incisor teeth of upper jaw are previously filled with composite, no reoccurrence of caries is detected in clinical examination but the fillings are not esthetically suitable.  No orthodontic treatment is indicated considering patient’s age and current status. She is happy with the way things are.
