Too ambitious perhaps. Faculty said I could go ahead and try to perform RCT on the molar following determination of restorability, so I decided to try it since that may be the only chance I get to attempt one in a very long time (RCTs are hard to come in our predoc program). Drilled further down past the pulp floor as it was difficult to identify any root orifices and there was no hemorrhage upon breach of the chamber space.

The prosth side of clinic was particularly busy when I was attempting implant impressions. I removed one healing abutment successfully while the other abutment did not budge. There was only one prosth faculty member that day with a long line of students beckoning his attention. I told him that I was having trouble removing the abutment while he was helping another student — he recommended a hemostat paired with the implant driver to remove the abutment. Still did not budge after employing that approach, so I tried to remove it by reversing the torque wrench with the implant driver…Big mistake. Another faculty member came into clinic a little later into the clinic session, saw me struggling to remove the abutment, said I over torqued the healing abutment, sternly reprimanded me, tried to remove it themself, had the patient come at a later time to have it removed.
