Just wondering if anyone here would go back to a dentist who put a temporary crown on with permanent bonding cement and didn't tell them they did that, knowing they were about to get a root canal and the endo would be trying to get the temporary crown off, then refused to talk to them either on the phone or in person.
Also I saw a second endodontist, Dr. Moskow, who did a very thourough exam on that tooth and said he thinks it's fractured, and does not need a root canal. It is indeed fractured on the inside but I hadn't told him that. He said that since it is sensitive to the bite test, but is not sensitive to hot or cold as it would be if it needed a root canal. No infection shows in the roots on an X-ray.
The second dentist I talked to, since the first dentist Dr Sadati refuses to talk to me, told me that to get the temporary off he needs to further grind down the tooth since the temporary crown is bonded to it.
He said it is highly unorthodox to use permanent cement on a temporary.
Dr Sadati was told by his assistent when he prepped my tooth that he was out of temporary cement so he told his assistant to give him Optibond, a permanent cement. She stopped and stared at him for a second like he was nuts, and I felt alarmed, but had forgotten about that until the endodontist couldn't get the temp off.
with the original one, Dr. Sadati, refuses to talk to me even to let me know he can remove the temporaryhe put on with permanent cement, its' BONDED to the tooth he prepped.
