#shorts An amalgam tattoo is a result of dental amalgam particles getting embedded into gum tissue. This person had 2 apicoectomies performed to save failing root canaled teeth. This was done back in the 1970’s before dental implants were available. 40 years later, the teeth are still healthy and in function.

The apicoectomy was a success to last that long. Filling of choice was limited at that time.

The tattoo doesn't cause any issues, it's just a discoloration of the gum tissue.

Both teeth in the video have silver amalgam fillings at the root tips under the gum. Both teeth have healed normally and have been stable for the past 40 years.

@@VeryNiceSmileDental hmm so even after 40 years the alamgam stayed stable? Would you recommend they change their fillings cause I have heard a lot of dentists say eventually those silver amalgam fillings need replacement, say after 10-12 years. 40 years is a really long time. I am surprised they didn't start to erode or cause further issues. The dentist who did the work must be quite a craftsman to make them last that long.

The fillings in this case are under the gum and bone, they were placed during a surgical procedure and they are not exposed to biting forces or the oral cavity. If you look at the x-ray part of the video, the fillings are the two large white blobs above the teeth. I'll take a screen shot and post it in the community section of my KZfaq channel and I will point out where the fillings are and where the crowns are and where the gumline is relative to everything. I hope that makes sense. Once I post the pic with some descriptions, let me know what I need to explain better.

I wanted to ask, do we call that retrograde filling where amalgam used to close roots?
@VeryNiceSmileDental
@VeryNiceSmileDental 10 ай бұрын
Hi, the procedure is called an "apicoectomy". Amalgam is no longer used as a retrograde filling.

I believe so, though most of my patients nowadays elect to get the tooth removed and replaced with a dental implant rather than get an apico.
