I think this is an interesting case. Maybe MTA could have been used for the apicectomy filling material on UR2. I would prefer to put a GP root filling in prior to the apicectomy on the UR2, even if I couldn’t get to the apex of the root. Despite the large blush area above UR1 I think this root has a good prognosis and it may be possible to utilize this as a bridge abutment in the future. Mark Preston
