| Modifying the crown. Black is where I need to remove to get my height of contour where I need it so my clasp arm origins are above it, then extend into the undercut. |

 |
| 1st Primary Molar: Distal View. Good box size, good wall heights and good occlusal convergance! |
 |
| 2nd Primary Molar: Mesial view of the box. Not the best picture ever taken, but we can see the box is to size, not below the height of contour, and has good occlusal convergance |
 |
| Nicely done! |
 |
| Endo and my camera are not good friends. I either forget it a crucial peice of my camera (battery, or the whole thing), or am in such a hurry to keep my head above water with all these projects, that I am 1/2 done with a project before I realize I have forgotten to take pictures... Bear with me folks |

 |
| This is the last non-angled radiograph I took. We take angled radiographs so we can see the two different canals. How do we know which canal is which? A: Well, the SLOB rule of course... |

| Working Lengths Established with Size 15 files |
 |
| Master Files to length fitting around those curves. Even though we are at our master files, we still need to taper the canals to fit Gutta Percha and clean out the larger aspects at the occlusal 1/3 of the root. To do this, we are going to use the Step Back Technique (which we have used for every project as well) |

 |
| Since we have a total of 7 digital xray machines down in the preclinical sim lab & bench lab, I thought, "hey, Why not just take a picture of all my cones in there to make sure I didnt push one down past the apex." Actually, this is my logic for taking ~500 radiographs for each step. A little exaggeration but me thinks it is common that most students take more radiographs than necessary/ would ever take on a real patient because it is there and we can check our progress. |
 |
| Final Obturation. The ML canal is not perforated nor does it have GP sticking out the end. That is just excess sealer that either got extruded during lateral condensation, or was pushed out by my root plugger. Either way, it wont be counted down. I forsee myself losing points for being closer than 0.5 mm from the radiographic apex. But besides for that, I think it looks very good :D |
