Hello.
This is Dr. Jeon Jun-hee,
a specialist in conservative dentistry at Sinchon Chia Jikim Hee Dental Clinic.
Today, I’d like to introduce a case involving a foreign patient in her 20s.

This patient, who lives in the United Kingdom,
said that pain returned after treatment
for the lower right molar.

The dentist in charge
looked inside
and removed all of the previously treated material.
It was now time for retreatment.
By chance, while planning a trip to Korea,
she came to know about my clinic and visited.

Since she did not live in Korea,
we had to work a little quickly to match her departure schedule.
The patient understood this point as well
and cooperated actively with treatment,
so by her third visit, we were able to complete a clean and thorough treatment.
It was a case with severe root canal narrowing,
but thanks to the patient’s active participation and cooperation,
it was completed smoothly.
I still remember how happy she was
when all discomfort disappeared after just three visits.^^
Because there was not enough time,
the crown was planned to be done after she returned to her home country.
It was a very rewarding case,
restoring the molar of a female patient in her 20s to health.
