For one of my top front teeth (#10) - extraction and insertion of dental implant with bone grafting material. Approximately 6 months later, the dentist opened up the implant and it did not integrate and therefore had to be removed. - a few months later, another dental implant was placed by an oral surgeon using some of my own jaw bone. 6 months later, the implant was uncovered and was deemed stable. A temporary crown was placed and within a few weeks, an abscess formed above the implant.
I have a previously root canaled tooth (no crown yet) that has become abcessed and was told it has a big crack and 9mm pocket and it needs to be extracted and an implant done. The tooth does not hurt, nor does the gum, however I realize things can progress quickly without warning. Is my only option extraction?
Im a 47 year old male with two abscesses.. One on tooth 19 and the other on 30. Both are failed root canals and both cannot have re treatment root canals done. My Dentist wanted to pull both and do implants. I asked for a second opinion and they referred me to a Endodontist. Had an Apico done on 19 and will have one done on 30. They said if I pulled 19 id still have to bone graft wait for 6 mos. If the apico fails can I still do a extract/graft/implant?
I'm 24. Tooth #30 is crowned & suffers chronic abscess (~5 years) from root canal failure. I don't want to live with a dangerous infection but I'm terrified of extracting and implantation. When I was young, the primary molar on that same side had to be removed. If this tooth also goes I'm scared of what will happen to my already horrid cross bite and TMJ. Endodontist couldn't guarantee anything about re-treatment as he's skeptical of how much bone remains under the tooth.
two years ago had root canal and now abscess, not sure if pero abscess or root problem, is there a way to tell, my dentist is not sure. Is there a test, and will I waste my money running around to experts who will tell me to pull it. I guess I can get retreated and apexectomy or have it pulled and do bridge or implant, but I would rather save the tooth, if possible. there maybe a crack root and bone loss, but no sure, It is having resorption problems and not sure how to get this tooth to behave.
Had a root canal 11 years ago. It developed an abscess a month ago. Was shuttled off to a root canal surgeon for a re-do. Root canal surgeon said oh no, you need an implant, since a root canal could go bad again. What's up? Dental assistant told me that the original root canal could have had a nerve ablation (burning out organic material at bottom of canal). Apparently this wasn't done. Seeking second opinions, advice from people who do these procedures. Tooth #19.
