I’m certain that no matter how long I practice or how much I learn there will always be clinical situations that I am uncertain about. Just one of these presented itself a week or so ago during a recall exam. So here are the details of the clinical situation, and I would love to hear different clinical solutions and what there risks and benefits are.
