Unless there is a reason to not remove the broken tooth, I would strongly recommend having it extracted.If left in place, there's potential for the broken tooth to cause periodontal problems for the implants.I hope you found this information to be helpful,Dr. Champagne
Since the majority of your chewing occurs from the first molar forward, it is not always necessary to replace the second molars with a dental implant. The small benefit in function you may or may not gain by replacing the second molar with an implant, will not out weight the cost and...
