When to Refer to Specialist Endodontics

Dr. Nathani accepts referrals for the full spectrum of endodontic needs, with particular expertise in highly complex cases (Complexity Codes 2 and 3).

Primary Referral Indications:

Endodontic Retreatment:

  • Failed previous root canal treatment
  • Persistent infection after primary treatment
  • Separated instrument retrieval
  • Complex canal negotiation
  • Previous missed canals requiring location and treatment

Anatomical Complexity:

  • Severely calcified root canals
  • Complex root morphology (C-shaped canals, variant anatomy)
  • Difficult access requiring 3D navigation
  • Dilacerated or severely curved roots
  • Cases requiring NaviDent Dynamic Navigation technology

Pathology and Trauma:

  • Internal and external root resorption
  • External cervical resorption (ECR)
  • Complex dental trauma
  • Root fractures requiring specialized assessment
  • Cemental tears

Restorative Complexity – The DME Advantage:

  • Deep sub-gingival margins (below gumline)
  • Cases requiring Deep Margin Elevation (DME)
  • Teeth with deep decay or fractures previously deemed “unrestorable”
  • Alternative to crown lengthening surgery
  • Complex isolation requirements for bonded restorations
