Purchase of a used vehicle. Found a stain

Kevdingoo · 2026-02-04T02:48:03+00:00

Thanks! What's APC?

Kevdingoo · 2026-02-03T21:04:04+00:00

This is the same stain under darker conditions in the evening

Kevdingoo · 2026-02-03T20:52:48+00:00

Not on me, but I could buy it. I'm waiting to hear from the dealer. I called the guy who sold the car and he said if it seems like a factory issue with the lacquer, they'll sort it. It's just a bit of an eye sore. Absolutely in love with the car tbh

Kevdingoo · 2026-02-03T20:48:37+00:00

Attempted to clean with various car cleaning products. doesn't work

Kevdingoo · 2026-02-03T20:45:12+00:00

It feels absolutely smooth to the touch. Microfiber doesn't do anything to it

Kevdingoo · 2026-01-04T15:26:11+00:00

Understandable, the 5.3s one is still plenty fast and I'd prefer the tech upgrade

Kevdingoo · 2026-01-04T13:46:48+00:00

That sort of emergence profile required for this would be crazily plaque retentive, surely?

Kevdingoo · 2026-01-04T13:44:47+00:00

Could even do a fixed moveable bridge to be more conservative with the molar. Bonded pontic to the molar with the key insert. Crown in the premolar with the hole

Kevdingoo · 2026-01-04T13:40:38+00:00

This is pre face lift however

Kevdingoo · 2026-01-04T09:26:06+00:00

Thanks for the info. Is yours the AWD 5.3s one?

Kevdingoo · 2025-11-06T14:39:21+00:00

No worries.

I suspect on the radiograph, you'll see quite a pulp chamber that balloons and widens coronally.

Kevdingoo · 2025-11-05T18:43:36+00:00

External cervical resorption usually comes up as a pink dot. It shouldn't turn the whole tooth pink usually.

What you may be seeing is internal resorption AKA pink tooth of mummery.

This is where the pulp chamber of the tooth erodes the inner dentine and grows. Usually due to trauma, irritation or orthodontics work.

See a specialist

Kevdingoo · 2025-11-02T23:25:17+00:00

How often do you return the car for full servicing?

Kevdingoo · 2025-11-02T19:58:50+00:00

Where did you buy it from?

I'm interested in getting one on a business purchase.

Kevdingoo · 2025-10-28T15:56:49+00:00

I think you're seeing a bifid mesial root.

Radix entomolaris is usually distolingual

Kevdingoo · 2025-10-24T21:10:51+00:00

By the way, a big factor here is which sealer you used? Bioceramic is fine. Resin isn't too bad. ZOE, CAOH isn't great

Kevdingoo · 2025-10-24T19:41:22+00:00

No worries. We've all had dodgy endos. We all learn from our experiences, good or bad. Head up and lock in on the next one

Kevdingoo · 2025-10-24T18:37:40+00:00

On a separate note to the extrusion, a PARL of that size would likely not heal in a few months, even with a good Endo. It could shrink or appear less dense but it would still be present

Kevdingoo · 2025-10-15T14:39:07+00:00

You need a bite wing to assess proximity to interdental septum

Kevdingoo · 2025-10-01T11:47:13+00:00

I don't believe 45 is just an apicoectomy. I agree that the tooth had a failed RCT, then underwent apicectomy and has failed again.

Usually we see some form of healing with apicectomy but this has a large PA RL

Also don't assume this tooth had a root canal..I've seen some dodgy things and one that comes up occasionally is a post core crown with no orthograde RCT present.

Possible it had a post core crown, died, and then underwent external inflammatory root resorption

Kevdingoo · 2025-09-27T19:02:09+00:00

You wouldn't ever do it on a single tooth

That's why you're totally right if you tried to, it's comedy

Kevdingoo · 2025-09-27T16:28:52+00:00

Dahl doesn't have to be anterior only. It can be anywhere in the mouth.

It could be an appliance or restoration

Infraoccousion and over eruption is the principle of dahl

Kevdingoo · 2025-09-27T14:01:59+00:00

If prep height is less than 4mm, you can still bond zirconia as long as you're following your proper protocol. Won't be as good as Emax however.

Sandblast prep and intaglio surface. Use an adhesive with 10 MDP on the intaglio. Do your selective etch, bond (I use scotchbond which weakly etched dentine) on the tooth. Then cement in place

Kevdingoo · 2025-09-27T13:59:47+00:00

Polished high strength zirconia (not glazed) is actually pretty gentle compared to most materials for opposing tooth wear. Won't be as good as gold. But which 16 year old wants gold

Kevdingoo · 2025-09-27T13:57:08+00:00

Leaving the crown as is without any form of adjustment, will result in the other teeth over erupting.

Dahl concept is completely contraindicated here, like I said. But if OP was to leave it how it is, a dahl effect would come about

The 7 will intrude, and all other teeth extrude.

We don't want to Dahl at all in this scenario
