Tooth #36 presented with a deep and extensive decay, causing persistent pain and infection. After thorough evaluation, it was clear that the tooth was non-restorable and extraction was the best option to prevent further complications.
💡 Here’s what this case taught me:
🔹 Clinical judgment means knowing when to intervene—and when to let go
🔹 Atraumatic extraction techniques matter for future prosthetic options
🔹 Patient comfort and clear communication are just as important as the procedure itself
✨ Every case is a lesson. Every patient is a responsibility.
