Very interesting lateral puff.
Note no radiographic evidence of
lateral radiolucency.
At two year recall this looks very good.

Just to be picky, there are some voids in the fill.

My current obturation technic is to place the master point
(yeah, I still do that) and insert spreader (MA 57 I think)
and place one fine point, then cut off with heat.

Place two more fine GP using spreader between each
placement, with only the smallest drop of Grossman's.
Cut.

Depending on flare of canal, continue with Fine or switch
to Medium. Place spreader into center of GP mass.
Switch to larger spreader if necessary.

Continue until GP mass is unpenetrable (1mm or less) with reasonable
spreader force. Spreader action is first apical, then side
to side (somewhat a figure-8 motion), then radial motion until
spreader 'lets go')

IMO this RCT will do just fine as there is an 'entombment' of any
residual debris.
