Every now and then, a case comes along that reminds us why adherence to clinical protocol and sound judgment are indispensable in endodontics.

Improving the profitability and performance of your dental hygiene department requires more than excellent clinical skill or motivating patients. In today’s challenging environment, where wage demands rise but insurance reimbursements often stagnate, hygienists may feel undervalued, hindered by outdated equipment, inefficient scheduling, and limited incentives. The key to success lies in strategically optimizing coding, scheduling, communication, and operational workflows to

Insurance refund demand after a patient complaint? Don’t rush to pay. These requests are often based on misunderstanding, not clinical error, and can usually be challenged with the right documentation and strategy.

Every radiograph tells a story, some of trauma, some of healing, and sometimes life-altering diagnoses.

What happens when a 15-year-old’s central incisor slams into a hardwood gym floor during a basketball game? This case walks you through the initial emergency care, unexpected complications and the strategic endodontic decisions that followed. From pulp caps and CBCT confirmation to necrosis, oblique fractures and biologic width violations, this case highlights the multidisciplinary management of a complex injury, guided by thoughtful planning and collaboration.

Many patients are postponing care not because they don’t need it—but because they can’t justify it. P.A.I.N.—short for Patient Activity Income Narrative—is a strategic framework developed by Bottom Line Business Planning that helps dental practices interpret patient behavior through the lens of financial pressure.
