Last year, (b)(6) 2011, i had a turbine explode while the lares hs was in use on a crown prep, and i wrote you about it.I sent you the turbine and chuck, which lures kept.The pt came in today and showed me a radiograph of a dental bur hung in her right lung.After the turbine and chuck separated from the turbine, i told the pt what happened and asked her if she would to the physician and have herself checked (x-rays).The pt declined.She was in an auto accident in (b)(6) 2012 and broke some ribs.The attached radiograph showed the bur.She was asymptomatic for a full year with the bur hung in her lung.She says it now burns.
