Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to ask for an answer to the following question. I have problems with my upper first molar. It is a root-treated tooth in very poor condition; the filling fell out several months ago, after which my dentist only placed a temporary filling, which has now fallen out again. Very little of the tooth remains, and my dentist's prognosis is that the tooth must be removed because there is also a large granuloma above it. Is that really the only solution? I also asked her about the possibility of placing an implant, but she says this will be a problem because I have a very low bite. What is your opinion — does a low bite really present a problem for implant placement?
What is your opinion of a cast partial denture?
Can I bring a panoramic X-ray that is a few months old to an examination with you?
Thank you for your answer and kind regards.
Julija
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Madam!
Given the problems you have described, I would definitely like to see the condition 'in person'. Under the term deep bite, I do not see problems that could affect implant placement at the site of the first molar. There may of course be other reasons that make implantation more difficult or impossible, which your dentist was trying to explain to you.
A panoramic X-ray is welcome and necessary. A clinical examination and X-ray will give us all the necessary answers, so please make an appointment by phone (040294488 or 04/5300660). Please ask a more specific question about a cast partial denture, because with such a general question we could get too involved in matters that do not interest you.
We look forward to your visit.
