Opt to rebuild your tooth and retain the root.
Every tooth is important.
So, what do you do if you have a broken tooth or a loss of tooth structure?
Extract the tooth and place a dental implant or construct a fixed dental bridge!
If your tooth cannot be saved and must be extracted, the best option is a dental implant or bridge.
And generally, these are the options also given in case of a broken tooth or a root present.
But, both these options are at times very radical and invasive, time-consuming and elaborate.
There is a better method to save your broken tooth, which is very predictable and has a reasonable life span.
Post and Core Dentistry can rebuild your broken tooth and give it a second chance.
Firstly, let us understand what is post and core dentistry?
Should you even choose to go ahead with it?
A post and core is a type of filling done to rebuild the lost tooth structure, in order to support a crown.
It can only be done after the tooth has undergone root canal treatment.
It has two components to it:-
1) Post – Post is basically like a small rod, made up of fibre/metal inserted into the root of the tooth after the root canal treatment is completed.
2) Core – Core is a filling which replaces the lost tooth structure. Core takes its support from the post.
Should you even choose to go ahead with it?
Ofcourse, yes!
This is the only way to save your broken tooth.
The post and core together can build up inadequate tooth structure and give further support to the crown to be placed on the tooth.
To understand simply, if there is not a lot of healthy tooth structure left, a proper crown can not be placed on it.
If we do try to place a crown on it, the crown will eventually come out.
Thus, causing the failure of the entire treatment.
Therefore, post and core treatment will reinforce the tooth thus making it last very long.
When and why would you require post and core treatment?
Post and cores are used in cases where there is a loss of tooth structure.
1) If your tooth has decay involving a large portion of your tooth. To build the lost tooth structure after the removal of the decay.
2) Fracture of a tooth due to trauma, and thus eventually loss of adequate tooth structure.
3) When large fillings break and have to be redone.
4 reasons why you should fix the Broken Tooth immediately
1) Preventing Infection:
Immediate treatment helps avoid the risk of bacterial infection entering the exposed pulp or inner part of the tooth.
If infected, the broken tooth can lead to abscesses, causing severe pain and requiring more complex dental procedures.
2) Preserving Tooth Structure:
Prompt repair of a broken tooth can often keep more of the natural tooth structure.
It may involve dental bonding, a crown, or other measures to restore and maintain the tooth’s function and appearance.
3) Avoiding Pain and Discomfort:
Swift action for the broken tooth minimizes pain and discomfort, if any, associated with exposed nerves or damaged tooth structure.
Delayed treatment of a broken tooth may increase sensitivity and pain over time.
4) Preventing Further Damage:
A broken tooth is vulnerable to additional damage, especially when chewing or biting.
Immediate intervention helps prevent the break from worsening and requiring more extensive repairs.
5 long-term concerns if the Broken Tooth is left untreated:
1) Risk of Infection:
Delaying treatment of the broken tooth increases the likelihood of bacterial infection.
Infections can spread to the surrounding tissues, eventually leading to complications and potential tooth loss.
2) Increased Pain and Discomfort:
Ignoring a broken tooth can result in heightened pain and discomfort over time.
Nerve exposure may lead to persistent sensitivity and pain during everyday activities.
3) Compromised Tooth Stability:
Without properly treating a broken tooth, its structural integrity diminishes as time passes.
Losing tooth structure can increase fragility, making the tooth more susceptible to further fractures.
4) Costly and Extensive Procedures:
Delayed intervention may necessitate more complex and expensive dental procedures.
Complete restoration of a severely damaged broken tooth might require procedures like root canal treatment or tooth extraction.
5) Aesthetic Concerns:
Leaving a broken tooth untreated can result in noticeable changes to the tooth’s appearance.
Cosmetic issues may arise, impacting the smile and overall facial aesthetics.
To conclude:
Addressing a broken tooth promptly prevents immediate discomfort and safeguards against long-term complications, including infections, increased pain, compromised tooth stability, and the need for more extensive dental interventions.
