Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I went for five root canals on the front teeth.
Which type of caps are advisable single or joined?
Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Yes, caps are advisable, but single is best. Joined or bridged has a drawback. If any side of the joined cap is loose or any damage occurs, then the whole bridge is removed. In a single case, if one particular tooth or cap has any problem or any damage, then the single cap will be repaired and removed.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
