Periapical radiographs of the affected left mandibular first molar. (A) Pre-operative view showing previous Class I coronal filling of tooth #36, deep/extensive decay in the distal aspect of the involved tooth, and separate periapical lesions (condensing osteitis) at both root apices. (B) The immediate post-operative radiograph demonstrating the complete pulpotomy of the distal half of the coronal pulp chamber next to the remained intact mesial part of the pulp chamber, being completely covered/capped with calcium-enriched mixture cement. Condensing osteitis is clearly evident. (C) The two-year follow-up radiograph showing complete healing of the two apical radiolucencies, normal periodontal ligament space, and the formation of dentinal bridges at the orifice of the distal canal as well as the distal aspect of the mesial part of the pulp chamber. The condensing osteitis is still evident. (D) The five-year follow-up radiograph exhibiting the normal architecture of surrounding bone, which represented the resolution of condensing osteitis and a healthy tooth.
