Stud Lip rings

My patient today had a lip ring and, when capturing xrays, it is protocol to take them out due to possible scatter radiation and obstruction in the film Well, when I asked the patient to remove it, the patient warned me that it may not be possible. I asked if I could give it a try, but I was not successful. we were able to take out the tongue stud, but that was it. Anyway, the patient was a very cooperative and using scan-x plates are a dream.

I only made it through the OD and xrays today, but in time I hopefully can complete a full treatment in one appointment.

Mark, out.
