Possible treatment of a fractured Molar tooth? (photos)

Question

My upper molar tooth got fractured while eating food. What could be the possible treatment ?

Jepssy Beltre, DDS · Answer

Dear DeepakGaur,

An X-ray should determine if restoration is enough, meaning the molar is restored using resin.
Another option would be to extract the tooth to place an implant and Crown.
Of course, a bridge is also an option, but implants are better at preventing bone loss, and they do not require the shaving of the two nearby teeth. Dental implants require two separate visits. During the first visit, the screws placed inside the jaw and, after this surgery the patient needs to go through a healing process of 3 - 4 months (depending on the type of implant you choose, could be less) to place the crowns.

Best of luck!

if the pulp is not involved, only cavity filling will work. But if the pulp is involved in that condition, RCT with a crown is needed. xray is a must for final diagnosis.
