Two days after polysulphide rubber impressions had been taken of gold inlay cavities in 6 and 7, a 22‐year‐old female dental student developed a painful swelling between 5 and 6. A radiograph revealed the presence of an irregular radiopaque body within the cancellous bone of the interdental septum between 5 and 6. At operation, 1 month later, the interdental septum was seen to have been destroyed and its position occupied by impression material and inflammatory tissue. When the lesion was reopened 2 years later to correct slight recurrent pocketing, significant regeneration of bone was found to have occurred.
