Subject: [roots] silverpoint removal
Its been a while since i removed a tough silver point.
this one took a full 45 minutes and didnt budge to any ultrasonic vibration.
I exposed the top 4-5 mm of the silver cone with ultrasonics with a lot of water
(not to heat and fry the pdl)
I selected a needle tube that fits the silver point and used dual cure composite
to cement the tube over the silver point and after it set removed it.
pt is seeing a student dentist for the post and core and crown - .. sashi nallapati
