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!
I am considering a crown on apicoectomised tooth 45 (a post was placed during the apicoectomy a year and a half ago). In such a situation, is it advisable to invest in a single crown (because of the survival of the tooth under load), or is it standard dental practice to connect such a tooth to a neighbouring tooth?
I should also mention that the neighbouring tooth 46 is missing, but I would deal with that later with an implant.
Which crown would you recommend, and can the black post show through a zirconia crown? Price?
Thank you for your answer.
Kind regards.

Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
If the X-ray does not show bone changes around the root tip and the tooth causes no symptoms, it is certainly worth deciding on a crown. Connecting it to another tooth makes no sense. Given that you have a metal post and this is a tooth where translucency would not be an important aesthetic factor, using zirconia would offer little advantage, so a metal-ceramic crown is a sensible choice. Price: EUR 210.
Have a nice day!
