Patient: 22-year-old female in excellent health

Chief Complaint: asymptomatic

Dental History: The patient’s previous dentist had performed root canal treatment on tooth #14 in 2006. Her new dentist noted a periapical radiolucency associated with the mesiobuccal root of tooth #14 and the tooth required a full-coverage restoration. The patient was referred for endodontic retreatment in 2012.
