My Crown fell off along with a piece with my teeth inside?!


Question:

My Crown fell off along with a piece with my teeth inside?

The dentist tried to reglue it back with a permenant seal but it fell off again, she said there's nothing she could do but to reglue it every time it fells out, because I have a perfectly health roots, she don't want to try tooth implant since it's not roting or swaying. Can I just glue it my self with a permanant or super glue instead??


Answers:

If part of your "natural tooth" fell off inside the crown, this may have compromised the margins of the prep. Continuing to re-cement a crown is not “correcting the problem” rather it’s adding to it. There is a reason this crown keeps coming off, it doesn’t fit anymore. Either the part of the tooth that came off, or recurrent decay, has compromised the margins of the crown so that when it’s re-cemented it will “leak inside the crown” causing a cement failure again. It’s the “leaking” that is the serious problem. This slow steady leaking of bacteria is coating the inside of the “crown and your tooth” not only causing the cement to fail but it’s coating the “uncovered” portion of your natural tooth allowing easier and highly possible decay to take place and also allowing bacteria to saturate the dentin tubules of this uncovered tooth possibly reaching the pulp or nerve that could necessitate the need for a root canal in the very near future.

I would suggest that you have another dentist examine this tooth and give their assessment. Without looking at the tooth or an x ray, I would say you possibly need decay removed, a pin build up and a new crown. A post (as someone suggested) is never placed in a tooth unless it’s had root canal therapy.

Find another dentist, one who will solve the problem, not make it worse or add to it. I hope that I’ve been of some help and that you will seek out another dentist with more experience in crown and bridge work very soon. Good luck!

Additional information: Do not use super glue, you will most definitely cause a root canal therapy to be needed and likely to cause the need for the tooth to be extracted.
