a) Tooth 32 presents with a localised deep periodontal pocket and vertical bone loss extending to, but not encompassing, the apex. A positive response to Endofrost was elicited but suppuration was consistently present. The true status of the pulp is questionable. b) Tooth 31 presented with bone loss to the apex and deep buccal and lingual probing depths. In contrast, both centrals were consistently positive to cold testing and so a decision needs to be made on whether to instigate RCT in this scenario
