Testimony: I was without a partial for 2 weeks as I had dropped it on a concrete floor and there was a bend in it. I had asked around if my partial could be fixed, there wasn’t any assistance to be found for my need. I went to CDI to have my partial fitted back into my mouth. With the technology used, my experience was beyond results! To my amazement, my partial fitted much more comfortable than the initial set up, such a great fit that my partial actually felt like my real teeth! A breath of fresh air! What a relief! I honestly felt at home in the office with such a friendly atmosphere as if I was part of a family! Thank you CDI for such genuine care! Doris Chaput

CASE FILE: Sinus involved endodontically

Sinus floor perforated and inflammation present. Presents as chronic sinusitis. Possible treatment options?   Another example of how well we can see the problem in 3D. Notice the destruction of the sinus floor and an inflammatory response in the sinus. Comments?

CASE FILE: Internal resorption and bone loss

    You will never see the extent of resorption and destruction on a PA or pan compared to CBCT. Here we are looking sagittally at extensive resorption on lingual of #3.1 and loss of bone apically.     What treatment challenges do you see with this case?
