Give me your professional advice?!
Question: Give me your professional advice!?
I have a max premolar with a root canal which has twice been filled!. Friday the second filling failed and I am again going to have to go back to my dentist a week Thursday to get it fixed!. Is it possible to get a crown on this tooth!? or more so should I get a crown on this tooth!? many thanksWww@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
To be honest if its been root treated then you would really need a crown putting on it for strength!.
Root treated teeth do become brittle over time and generally need crowns, but i support your dentist in trying the filling first!. He/she knows that while a crown is more stable to the tooth it destroys alot of tooth to fit the crown and that's what they try to prevent!. At the end of the day natures own teeth are far better than an artificial tooth!.
It really depends on how much of the tooth is filling!?!?!? if its just one or two surfaces i would personally stay with trying another filling if it was more than two surfaces then i would ask for a crown!.
It also depends what type of filling they have placed!? and the technique they have used!? i would ask your dentist to explain to you why they think the filling has come out!?
NHS crowns will be metal coloured and usually last around 10yrs before the tooth would need removal!. Private crowns are made of better material but no dentist can give you an guarantee that it would last any longer, and you need to have very good oral hygiene to maintain the crown!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

When deciding options its worth baring in mind that Loss of molar teeth can alter the mechanical environment in adjacent premolar teeth!. Since the average bite force, (and the maximum stress) in the cancellous bone, slightly but significantly, is reduced by denture wearing !.The maximum tensile stress in root surface ranges widely from 11 MPa to 141 MPa g so each case is individual!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I have a similar situation where the dentist has done a filling but has warned that any further work other than drawing the tooth (about
