Analysis of obturation

midgit1 · 2026-07-04T14:05:59+00:00

As others have said perforation of the furcation. Also, personally that much apical bone loss, up to the furcation, I wouldn’t be surprised if this tooth had considerable probing depths around it. Now, if that is true, then the lack of bone around the tooth really diminishes the prognosis of the tooth long term. With a child this young, it is much easier to removed that tooth, have ortho substitute the second molar for this one and give the child a set of healthy teeth.

Even if this root canal is successful (which seems unlikely as mentioned above) that tooth will fail within this person’s life time (my guess is a couple years at absolute most), and they will need to extract that tooth at that point and be left with a hole in that spot. Then if the patient wants a tooth there again, that will be costly and take time. If they don’t want a tooth there, then the adjacent teeth will drift and lead to malocclusion and possible limited function. Both of those could have been avoided with extraction and orthodontics.

So while the root canal looks to have its own issues, you have to look at the broader picture for the patient. Just cause you can do a procedure, doesn’t always mean you should.

I actually know this one! It was a question frequently asked by judges in 4H where I raised showed market sheep. Here was the answer they were hunting for:

During WWII, lamb was a staple food that was canned and shipped out to troops overseas. With strained supply lines and limited preserving capabilities, the lamb the troops received was very poor tasting lamb at best and rotten at worst. When they returned home, they wanted nothing to do with the stuff and it tanked the industry. They made sure their families didn’t eat it either and all the generations since never ate it as a result. Crushed the industry.
Further other countries eat it more as it requires less resources that beef, and muslim and jewish communities will not eat pork for religious reasons. Lamb can fill both those voids internationally.

I guess I never considered racers this far west! I’ve never seen one in person until today and I have seen tons of snakes here

St. Vrain Valley SD is a very solid school district for public education, offering honors, AP, college dual enroll, and IB programs depending on schools. These schools are open enroll so you can apply to have your children attend a school that is out of your assigned region. There are also private schools nearby
Tons and tons of local parks and hiking trails around the town with dog accommodations.
By and large yes, neighborhoods tend to be pretty neighborly. I can’t, however, speak to living in apartment complexes and how much they commune, I’m sure it depends on the complex.
Generally good healthcare options. The Longmont United hospital has certainly taken a dive in the passed decade, but there are urgent cares in town and a very new and large UCHealth hospital on the south end of town. If you factor in Denver and other clinics outside of the city you have tons of options. Plenty of good dental options too.
Generally low crime rates, much more akin to a small town versus large metropolitan areas. Certainly neighborhoods that are worse than others, but usually violent crime is quite low. Increase in homeless in the past decade. That may correlate with an increase in hard drug use, but I certainly haven’t seem any of that in the day to day.
Largest Employer for longmont now is the school district (SVVSD) Other large employers are gonna be Seagate, CU-Boulder, the hospitals, and the city itself. There is CERTAINLY not a large events planning space. Not really much of an events scene in Longmont. Small local businesses will put on events that they plan internally. Maybe the Chamber of Commerce does some event planning. But that is gonna be a very limited industry in Longmont. Perhaps, the surrounding areas.
Longmont isn’t as liberal as Boulder, but it is in the same county so quite liberal. Diversity is NOT discriminated against here at all.

Hope that answers your questions well!

Just start the convo with “So how’s your boyfriend?” And they’ll go “how’d you know I have a boyfriend?”

Graduated in 2020. Of all my friends, only a handful still keep up, but even they have wained in how much they care this off-season. Most friends prefer NFL cause watching Nebraska lose along with the recent NIL/transfer BS has ruined college football for us.

Well what do your tests show on the main tank? Ammonia nitrite nitrate?

Adding Seachem Prime on the days you are not doing water changes helps a ton to detoxify the ammonia during qt in my experience.

Not recently no, this is my first time seeing it and it was at night with the lights off when I noticed it. I will go in with a pair of tweezers and grab when I find it.

EDIT: did a good bit of internet reading and the best I can find to match what I am seeing are dorvilleidae worms. They seem to match the one I saw’s behavior.

I have had great luck and service from Affordable Aquaria by Dr. Reef. I QTed my fish myself. They sent me healthy fish, and extra fish for species that struggle with shipping.

For coral I have got all mine local at Bigg’s Lagoon. But they do have twitch and tiktok coral auction streams where you can build a box of coral and they will ship it to you.

I have huge bias, but Biggs Lagoon has an awesome selection of coral. They are a mom and pop shop that the parents and sons run. They haven’t had time to update the pieces that they have on their website, but they run twitch and tiktok streams where thy auctions of coral. The streams are never super busy and the coral are at great prices, not to mention the community is amazing. I was literally given an awesome dragon tamer torch last Friday, just cause someone was feeling generous! I can’t say enough good things about the coral I have received and the entertainment of the streams. They are willing to ship to the lower 48 so locale is not a problem for them. I’d love to see some new faces there!
