All of this work wasdone at one sitting, and consumed about two hours time. The radiograph(Fig. 222) shows that the bismuth paste does not entirely fill the abscesssinus. It has been my experience that the most vigorous and earnestefforts often fail to completely fill an abscess cavity with bismuth manufacturer- of the paste tell us that every crevice must be filled.
