Message: [QUOTE="Dr M, post: 138341, member: 8928"] Do you perhaps have x-rays after the treatment has been completed? It is important to note, there is a difference between the anatomical and radiological apex. This is why we use an apex locator. This sometimes means that the anatomical apex, is shorter than what the root appears on the x-ray. This does not mean it is short filled. Pain on biting might also be an indication that the filling is too high. I would suggest checking your occlusion and perhaps adjust the filling. After a root canal, it takes some time to settle. This can take 3 or sometimes even 6 months. [/QUOTE]
