Ok, posted a while back about this hug composite filing in a back molar
taking about 80% of the tooth and heat/cold sensitivity afterwards.
Well I remembered that Coenzyme Q-10 often improves gum tissue and is
known to be a nerve protectant rejuvenator in some research and I
started taking it again and the sensitivity now is much less and
improved almost immediately after taking CQ-10.
However I am not taking CQ 10 every day-it is expensive and seems to
disturb my sleep patterns.
I am getting occasionally very mild pains randomly from that tooth, but
the heat cold sensitivity has diminished considerably.
When I inquired here if there was a *definitive* test or marker as to
whether or not to proceed with RCT (expensive for me), I was essentially
told "no" (hence, only your hairdresser knows for sure).
If I post my pre and post xrays to one of the binary groups, will any of
you take a look and give me your unofficial opinions as to how to
proceed? I am going overseas where the dental rates are considerably
cheaper, so I might wait and get and RCT and crown done there.
Any helpful information or opinions most appreciated.

I certainly would look at any x-rays. Remember that there are signs
that could indicate definitive need for root canal, but lack of a
radiographic sign now doesn't mean the tooth does NOT need a root canal.
Spontaneous pain is certainly not a good sign.

Agreed and same here.
Except for that CQ-10 stuff.
