Abstract
Summary Ten silver cones were removed from teeth treated endodontically and were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and electron probe microanalysis. In seven of the cones studied, signs of corrosion were found; in the other three, no corrosion was seen. The possibility of corrosion occurring is related to the quality of the endodontic filling technique. The presence of corrosion on the silver cone within the root canal is not the sole determining factor in the success or failure of the endodontic treatment.
