Can they reuse my old gold crown after a root canal?
If you have pain due to the broken crown, you can use Toofypegs. It works as temporary repair kit to replace lost fillings and loose crowns. For emergency use only, you have to consult your dentist immediately. Depending on the damage he will let you know if the he can replace the broken crown or you may need the new one.
My tooth's crown fell off dentist said i have a broken root - does the tooth have to be pulled?
Probably. The long-term prognosis on teeth with fractured roots is usually poor.
How do you remove a tooth without the crown?
I am not sure what you mean, but: If you are talking about the crown PORTION (top) of the tooth, if it has broken off, you have to cut with a scalpel (Bard-Parker) just a bit around the gum, then you use a periosteal elevator to loosen the peridontal ligament all around the root of the tooth, then you get forceps that have the same shape as the root you are trying to remove (sort of a birds beak) to grab the root and wiggle it around until it comes out. Hopefully, if the root is otherwise healthy, it WONT CRACK.........if that happens, you just have to take more time to remove the pieces. Now, WHY is the tooth being extracted? You (DEPENDING ON THE HEALTH OF THE TOOTH IN QUESTION) can do a pin build-up of the broken off crown, and use a 'mold' to make a stub and then do an impression, and make a new crown, you don't necessarily HAVE to extract the tooth, unless the patient is requesting it because of money constraints.
What happens if you do not get a crown after root canal?
The reason why we dentist recommend for a crown to be placed in a root canal treated tooth is because the tooth tends to get fragile or more brittle after the treatment, as a lot of portion of the crown is lost during the procedure and as it cannot withstand masticatoryforce which is applied to a tooth during the process of chewing and tearing food and in case of the anterior tooth it is not esthetically acceptable also so we advise a patient to get a crown placed after a root canal treatment
Can the dentist reuse your old gold crown on the same tooth after a root canal?
depends on the reason the crown had to be taken off if it was for caries the crown should be replaced if it happened just because the pulp started hurting but with no caries involved he might be able to glue the crown with temporary glue preform the root canal and then glue it again permanently -though he will have to add a `core` to the tooth too.
How long can temporary crowns remain on teeth without causing damage?
you should only wear a temporary crown until your perm. crown comes in. a temporary crown will eventually break or come off if the temp comes off and you dont get the perm crown on your tooth could shift and the perm crown wont fit then you have to start all over and may be charged a lab fee to remake the crown.
Can you superglue a crown back onto your tooth?
You could do that, but I would not recommend it.First, you need to find out WHY the crown came off. If it is because of new dental decay, you want to have that taken care of by a dentist before you need a root canal.Second, super glue is not very effective as a dental cement. The crown will probably come off very soon again.Third, when a crown is placed, the dentist needs to check the bite. If it is off, even by a fraction of a millimeter, it can cause untold misery.Just see a dentist. If the crown can be re-cemented, the dentist can do it properly and quickly.
What do penguin teeth look like?
birds dont have teeth,they have beaks. but baby birds have an "egg tooth", a tooth on the front of their beaks that helps them get out of their egg, that falls off after they hatch from the egg.
Do all birds have beaks or bills instead of teeth?
Yes. The only tooth that a modern bird could have that I am aware of is an egg tooth that some chicks possess when they are trying to hatch from the egg but the egg tooth falls off soon after hatching.
The top half of a tooth with a root canal in upper molar broke off is extraction mandatory?
You can just let it rot out. Or if it is restorable, get a post and a crown.
