Scout gets a metal crown

Scout is a very sweet and compliant little  8 lb Chihuahua.  She fractured her right maxillary 4th premolar tooth a few months ago.  Her owner is a human dental school student and wanted to save this  very important tooth.  So I did a root canal on the tooth.  Here is a dental radiograph after the root canal was completed.

To protect the tooth from further injury we put a full metal crown on the tooth today.

Scout is very fortunate to have such a great owner!
