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:
One year ago I had two implants placed in the upper jaw, and in March 2014 a fixed bridge over all the teeth. The teeth are metal-ceramic. For some time now I have been having problems, namely an indistinct pain in the front teeth; I constantly feel the teeth, and swelling and gum inflammation have also started to occur. Because of the pain, my dentist has already devitalized both upper central incisors, but nothing is better. Since I can see that my dentist has no idea what is causing the pain, I would like advice on how to approach the problem.
Thank you for your answer and kind regards!

Dear Sir/Madam!
I certainly believe that your dentist has done everything that was possible under the circumstances. Based on the problem described, I think there are two possibilities: repeat root canal treatment of the teeth in question or, if that is not possible, an apicoectomy. To decide, I would need to see the X-ray.
Have a nice day!
