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:
Hello Mr Rotar. I would like to ask the following question. I broke a front tooth in half; can my own tooth be repaired in any way, or do I have to have it extracted and an artificial one made??!! Thank you in advance for your answer. Kind regards. PS — a friend recommended you to me.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
The prognosis of the tooth depends on the location of the fracture:
-fractures down to the level of the tooth neck can be treated relatively easily by making a dental crown or a filling
-fractures in the middle third of the root are usually fatal for the tooth
-fractures in the area of the root tip can be treated by removing the tip (apicoectomy).
If you can send me an X-ray, I can answer your question precisely.
Have a nice day!
