From: Rajiv Patel To: ROOTS Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2007 6:23 AM Subject: [roots] Silver 'n' Gold 40 plus year old USC Root canal with Silver points and laterally condensed gutta percha and a Gold Onlay. Symptomatic Microleakage? Would you call this success depends on Who defines it and How? Peeled through access carefully to avoid inadvertently removing silver point ends in chamber, used chloroform to dissolve gp and leveraged the silver points out of canals with Steiglitz. Small fragment of silver point left retained in apical segment of buccal canal. Interestingly buccal was longer than palatal canal here. Fire on! - Rajiv Patel
