Tag: Margin Salvation

We got a two year followup on this patient when looking at the premolar. There were three mesio-buccals on this case. The patient requested we keep the crown so we salvaged the mesial margin with amalgam.

It’s always a little disheartening when we access into a bridge abutment to find rampant caries. The patient wanted to get some more time out of the bridge. We we removed all the cariest, retreated the tooth, and flushed up the margin with amalgam. We saved the bridge for at least a year, with no signs of caries so far.
