Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I had a severe toothache and after getting permanent tooth filling done tiny pieces of tooth started to break. Now completely the tooth is fallen and when consulted a doctor he told dental implant of the tooth must be done because RCT can be done but as there is no root so the cap might come off again and again. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I am unable to understand your question completely. If there was no root then how was the filling done? And which tooth are you concerned about? Answer me with a photograph of the same in your follow up.

As far your problem is concerned, permanent fillings do not come out that easily provided it is manipulation and filling and post filling procedures were all done correctly.

Secondly, yes you can go for RCT only if there is a healthy supporting root. As far as the implant is concerned, you can opt it will be a perfect choice if you wish you may also go for prosthodontic bridge provided your adjacent teeth are healthy enough to give support. In the bridge, we take the support of one or two adjoining teeth and thus there is a set of 2 to 3 crowns which get fixed on healthy teeth hence your absent teeth gets a crown.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
