Periodontal ProJR: 52 year old woman with toothache

Began with upper jaw pain few days ago, insidious but noticed acute exacerbation recently

The pain appeared to have been referred to the right upper jaw but finally settled into the right lower jaw and the problem causing the toothache appears to be in the root of the right first molar 

Diagnosis was apical pulpitis with periodontal inflammation:

More about it in terms of general knowledge here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK589656/
                                       

There's an arrow in the above xray at the root of the right first molar for which an RCT cleaning with insertion of gutta percha was planned                             RCT Gutta Parcha

                
Post RCT x-ray                                The pain continued and finally a gum boil appeared.
