Hello,
I really appreciate your thorough consideration,
I'm sure many have likely encountered these situations before,

what do you think the prognosis of saving a broken
tooth, (which has caused an abscess)
would be under these situation ..

(if the patient chooses not to extract the tooth, then I guess
,certainly , a root-canal / pulpectomy is to be done soon
to prevent a recurring abscess ..)

Now, if the patient is very hopeful to save the tooth
(by doing a root canal then filling / full crown ...etc)
AND:
1-If the tooth is loose. How good the prognosis would be?
(patient believes it's loose only because of the abscess that has just
happened, it wasn't loose before)
(a retired dentist told me a loose tooth becomes loose
sometimes because of abscess itself and might return as a firm tooth..
not always of course)

2-if the tooth is calcified. ( I mean if there is a barrier of
the calcium compound around the nerve ..
if it's calcified so much, to the degree, that regular
dentist wouldn't do pulpectomy himself but rather
prefer to forward the patient to an
endodontist to do the pulpectomy / or root-canal.

3-if the tooth is calcified and brittle (good dehydration
of the tooth has been missing for (6 months to 1 year),
many call this a "dead tooth"
what would the prognosis of saving the tooth be?

4-if the tooth is loose AND calcified?
What would the prognosis of saving the tooth be?

If you are a DDS or endodontist would you just tell
the patient not to bother, and just to extract the tooth
to save time, stress ... or is it worth it to keep hoping and to try?
(assume the patient is not a millionare :) )
I'm not asking for a golden rule, just your advice,
thank you very much
