Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam!
What do you think about the fact that my dentist filled one root canal of the lower second molar in such a way that at the bottom, outside the canal, a larger blob of this material formed, as seen on the X-ray?
Will it cause problems? A bridge will soon be placed over this tooth. According to the doctor, the material should break down on its own after some time. I have some doubts about that.
Is it possible to remove this filling even after a longer period and replace it with a new one?
Kind regards and thank you.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Any filling can certainly be corrected or removed. It is also true that material that has extruded beyond the root tip can resorb by itself. I believe the finding will not cause problems with your tooth.
Have a nice day!
