This patient had what appears to be a normal right mandibular canine tooth.  The left mandibular canine was fractured with pulp exposure. The radiograph shows root resorption and a large pulp cavity with a periapical lucency.  Periapical changes are also present on the right mandibular canine tooth.  The final root canal procedure, the crown prep and crown placement are demonstrated.
