A doctor reported that he had overfilled a patient's root canal with a protaper universal obturator. The obturator exited through a perforation caused by internal resorption. The doctor realized this and retracted the obturator, but the piece beyond the perforation stayed. The doctor then tried to surgically retrieve the piece without success. No further treatment is planned.
