How to diagnose possible crack in crowned tooth?

jayw77Sep 9, 2021
Hello. Had supposed crack in a tooth that was crowned after root canal in attempt to save tooth and everything seemed fine. Crown was intentionally sealed with temporary cement In case any future issues that required removal. Began having discomfort in the tooth after six months and feel it is most likely due to crack extending.Heard if crack extends past gumline is best to extract. Is it possible to remove crown and look into tooth with dental microscope to look for crack extension?

You can only change those two crowns, and if you are not satisfied with your side teeth, you can have them laminated.

Actually, it is very difficult to see the open margin of the crown , but at least we can see a possibility if there is a part that has caries in that area and is not in harmony with the crown. You can share your x-ray with us, we will evaluate it.

Long term disability can result from nerve damage. It is possible to section the coronalportion of wisdom teeth and leave roots in. I have seen 90 year olds with impacted wisdom teeth. Err on side of caution.
