The first question you need to ask would be "Why is an Endodontist performing a 6 month check-up?" If it is to check the status of a RCT performed on a patient, this is typically considered inclusive. None-the-less, since there is no specific examination code for a 6 month check-up from an Endodontist and no (more)

Question 1: No you may not charge an additional charge for the wax work-up it is considered inclusive of the initial procedure. Question 2: No you may not pass the expense onto the patient. The lab fees may not be charged in addition to the initial procedure.

Could reporting two restorations for the same tooth on different surfaces be considered unbundling? Anesthetic, rubber dams, review of radiographs, may be part of the “first” restoration

No it is not considered bilateral...however you would have two codes one for the maxillary and one for the mandibular. If the jaw sugery was performed on both upper and lower, right and left sides then you would have a bilateral upper and lower jaw surgery.
