1) A root canal is not payable if a gross periapical or periodontal pathosis is demonstrated radiographically (caries to the furcation, or subcrestal deeming the tooth non-restorable); general oral condition does not justify root canal therapy due to loss of arch integrity; tooth does not demonstrate 50%
bone support and/or tooth demonstrates active untreated periodontal disease.

PERIODONTICS
Local anesthesia is usually considered to be part of Periodontal procedures.1) The word "site" is frequently used to indicate an area of soft tissue recession on a single tooth or an osseous defect adjacent to a single tooth; also used to indicate soft tissue defects and/or osseous defects in edentulous tooth
positions.
2) If two contiguous teeth have areas of soft tissue recession, each ear of recession is a single site.
3) If two contiguous teeth have adjacent but separate osseous defects, each defect is a single site.
4) If two contiguous teeth have a communicating interproximal osseous defect, it should be considered a single site.
5) If all non-communicating osseous defects are single sites.
6) All edentulous non-contiguous tooth positions are single sites.
7) Depending on the dimensions of the defect, up to two contiguous edentulous tooth positions may be considered a single site.
