Dental prosthetics (replacement of missing teeth)
This question is more than six months old, so the information in the answer may no longer be accurate.
Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Under a bridge (4 upper teeth), the periodontist noticed caries on the last tooth. How can this be treated? Is it necessary to make the entire bridge again, or is there another solution? Is it still possible to register with you, and what is the waiting time? Thank you for your answers.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
If the tooth decay does not extend too far below the edge of the crown or, on the other side, below the gum line, the problem can be removed without replacing the bridge. If this is not possible, it is better to remove the crowns. The bridge does not need to be destroyed if it is cemented with temporary or soft cement.
Have a nice day!
