If you have any questions or answers, please leave them below. Thanks and enjoy!
Hi, Wanted to ask on tooth (Maxillary right first molar (#3) – distal and Mandibular left second premolar (#20) – distal), isnt that cervical burnout?
Cervical burnout will appear as a diffuse radiolucent band going vertically from the cemento-enamel junction to the alveolar crest. Both of those sites listed has a radiolucent area moving towards the root canal space and not extending down the root. Cervical burnout is tricky and I’m working on a few cases and possibly a video to help with this. Keep evaluating thoroughly and you’ll get it. 🙂
