    SAMPLE RESPONSE: LETTER

    (Today’s date)

    Dear Dr O’Malley

    Re: Mrs Joyce Williams, DOB 9 May 1966

    Thank you for seeing Mrs Joyce Williams, who is experiencing symptoms of pain associated with 37. On
    examination, the tooth is not tender to percussion. Root canal treatment was performed on the tooth in November
    2007. The RCT was difficult due to the three roots converging into one, and an obstruction was encountered. As a
    result the root fillings are approximately 4mm short of the apex.

    The tooth now has a temporary crown. A VMK crown was inserted in March 2008, but the patient reported
    symptoms of pain from this time, which were not resolved by subsequent attention to cavities in the adjacent tooth,
    38. The occlusion of 37 was also examined but was not found to be under any occlusal loading. Subsequently, the
    VMK crown was removed and the IRM temporary crown re-inserted in December 2008. This appeared to resolve
    the problem.

    However, the patient is now complaining that the symptoms have returned. Another radiograph has been taken, but
    no periapical pathology was found.

    I would appreciate it if you could manage this case. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further
    information. I enclose the periapical radiograph of tooth 37.

    Yours sincerely

    Dentist
