Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / February 2005Implant?
I've had a long and fairly hideous history of trouble with #29. After two root canals, a crown lengthening and three crowns (long story, probably unimportant), I'm still having trouble, and the endodontist suspects a root fracture. It's looking very strongly like I'm going to lose the tooth. I'm 31. Tooth 28 has a filling in it; 30 is a recently-acquired crown that seems perfectly fine. I suspect the recommendation will be an implant, and I'm not crazy about the idea of a bridge, but I'm wondering if the non-pristine nature of #29's neighbors somehow argues for one? (I'm in reasonably good periodontal health; the crowns I've got are the result of some unfortunate behavior twenty years ago.) >I've had a long and fairly hideous history of trouble with #29.

Especially today. Why waste $3k to $5K with a fragile root (which can often break or split) when the $3K put into an implant usually finishes the job?

Otherwise the implant will feel better in your mouth. |
