Broken Needle In the Channel Posted: 01-19-05 13:18pm
Hi all,
i am having channel filling for the last 2
weeks as experienced and explained by a
few members in this forum. Unfortunately
I had pain for almost whole day after
injection's effect disappear. That is not
a big deal thanks for the painkillers, but
this morning my dentist cleaned the
remaining nerves in the channels and
temporarily filled again. After I got
x-ray film and two small white line
attracted me and I asked what they are.
He told me that my nerve channels are too
narrow and when he clean the 4 channels
with thin, 23mm needle, two of them broken
inside, when he pulled it a bit hard
during push-pull type cleaning. I know
that I do not have allergy to titanium and
in fact I scare to insist to have him
remove them, becouse probably he will say
for sure it is possible by surgery. I
would like to ask whether anyone has such
an experience. He told me it happens
sometimes and the best is to leave it
there.
I am looking forward to hear your
opinions.
Regards,
orhan

Your dentist is doing the right thing for
you.To try to remove the files may cause
more damage than to leave them.As long as
you are aware that the files are there,you
can monitor yourself for any pain,swelling
or other signs of infection.It seems a
little weird that the files broke off
inside your canal,but it does happen and
your dentist informed you,some do not.Many
patients find out when they see a new
dentist and x-rays are taken.Good luck to
you.
