Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My lower molar root canal was done a year back. After that, a metal-ceramic cap was placed. A few months later, my cap was replaced with zirconia supreme because of throbbing below the cap. My dentist advised that because of metal there may be a possibility of some allergic reaction. So, I should replace the cap. Now just two weeks back, I replaced but now I have a bulge in the jaw with pain.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Zirconia, no doubt, it is the best in all caps. But, there is no reason to replace a metal cap. Your jaw pain is may be due to forceful removal of cap and trimming of teeth, etc. Visit the dentist for genuine advice. Not all metal crowns create allergies. It is once in a blue moon thing. Do not worry, you will be fine but at least use your cap for at least five years. If you have a zirconia cap, then it will work for at least 5 to 10 years if you take care of it properly.
