SILVER ROOT CANAL POINTS<br />

The dentist has the option to use silver root canal points in<br />

filling a root canal.<br />

Advantages<br />

(1) They are more easily inserted than gutta-percha points<br />

and they have all the same advantages.<br />

(2) Sight selection <strong>of</strong> silver points is easy because they come<br />

in the same sizes and tapers as standard<br />

root canal broaches and reamers.<br />

Disadvantages<br />

(1) They are more expensive than gutta-percha.<br />

(2) They do not adapt to contours <strong>of</strong> the root canal.<br />

(3) They tend to corrode if subjected to body fluids.<br />
