Abstract
Retained deciduous molars without permanent successors require preservation to prevent alveolar bone loss. This case demonstrates a minimally invasive repair of iatrogenic furcal perforation using iRoot BP Plus, emphasizing its clinical viability. A 25-year-old female presented with persistent pain in a retained mandibular second deciduous molar (tooth 75) lacking a permanent successor. Radiographs revealed a pulp chamber floor perforation. After disinfection, the perforation was sealed with iRoot BP Plus (calcium silicate bioceramic, Innovative Bioceramix, Canada) under microscopic guidance, followed by root canal obturation. The tooth remained asymptomatic with stable function over 2 years. The repair prioritized biocompatibility and sealing efficiency. iRoot BP Plus outperformed traditional materials (e.g., MTA) due to its hydraulic properties, ease of placement, and absence of tooth discoloration. Successful outcomes align with literature supporting calcium silicate bioceramics for perforation repair. This case underscores conservative management in retained deciduous teeth when anatomical and patient factors permit. iRoot BP Plus effectively repaired furcal perforation in a retained deciduous molar, offering a predictable alternative to extraction. Its clinical advantages, including technical simplicity and aesthetic preservation, highlight its role in managing adult hypodontia and preserving alveolar integrity.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
