  The invited case # 2 : Dr. Yosef Nahmias

Our second guest was Dr. Yosef Nahmias, founder of the Endoweb, in Oakville, Ontario, Canada.

17 year old patient that presents to the clinic with sensitivity localized at the first upper left premolar area. The clinical evaluation shows that this tooth has three crowns, aparently produced by a gemination process. Although the tooth has no restorations (only pit and fissure sealants), the pulpal organ has necrosed in part probably due to the unussual anatomy.

The radiographic evaluation shows three aparently individual roots. The periapical image due to the pulpal lesion is also evident.

The approach was done through one of the crowns. The foramens where located with the use of an electronic apex locator.
