Silver Points.
Retreatment February 5th, 2007
I just saw this case for a recall. The first xray is preop from May 2005, the second is a recall film from Jan 2007.
I wasn’t able to get the silver point out in toto from the MB1 canal because it ended up fragmenting on me around the curve. I was able to bypass it though. The tooth was medicated with calcium hydroxide paste for a couple of weeks then obturated.
Looks like healing is progressing well. However I wouldn’t be surprised if, once healing is complete, we see a residual lucent area around the extruded part of the silver point. Chances are a persistent foreign body reaction will go on there.
