Typically when a dental post and crown comes out together the chances of saving the tooth are minimal. All that is left of your tooth is the root and the odds are that it is decayed or weak. The ideal treatment will probably be to extract the remaining root and place a titanium dental implant (artificial tooth root). After 4-6 months of healing a dental crown can be attached and it will be virtually undetectable. Good luck.
It is difficult to know if the tooth is fractured from the information that you have provided us with. It does sound like the tooth has problems and may need to be extracted.
Dear Mila: Unfortunately, you are correct. What is left in the gum is the remainder of your root. The bleeding can be from a fractured root, or just the irritated gum tissues. You must go and see a dentist as soon as possible. The tooth might be saved with a new post core and crown restoration, or you might have to have it extracted and replaced with an implant. Either way, you must go see a dentist for a proper diagnosis.
This is very difficult to answer without more information from a dental exam. X-ray is needed along with a physical examination of the area. Sometimes the gums around the crown can be very inflamed causing some of the bleeding. There is a chance that the root is fractured too. But it is difficult to make that diagnosis without more info. Also I find that most crowns and post come out for a reason and probably 9 out of 10 has to do with recurrent decay around the crown.
If there is the bleeding from the root after post and core with crown fell off, most likely there is a fracture. Usually these situations require extraction of the root, and later replacement with implant supported restoration or a bridge.
Bonding will not stick to a crown, so any changes in shape to a crown means that the entire crown needs to be remade.
From the appearance of your picture, it looks like there could either be a gap between your crown and your tooth, or there is a ledge formed at the junction where the crown ends and the tooth starts. A gap may be able to be sealed to prolong the life of the crown and prevent food from...
Like their name suggests Temporaries are not designed to be placed for long periods of time (2 weeks) is enough. The only issue i would address is when your permanent Crowns will be ready.
