Visitor asks:
Dear Mr Tomaž,
I have a question regarding my teeth (periodontitis in the upper jaw). I will be brief; you would probably have to see the images (I have a panoramic X-ray that is one week old). My upper left central incisor is coming out, the right one is also already very loose, I no longer have the upper left second premolar, and on the right side the second premolar and first molar are loose, with the first molar in very poor condition. I see a periodontist, who suggested that I have an implant placed in place of the left central incisor. I am not very keen on that and would like another opinion: could all the above-mentioned teeth be removed and everything that is still good be prepared and covered with crowns?
Thank you for your answer, Tatjana
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
Decisions regarding the type of treatment are most difficult precisely in a case such as the one described. They depend on various factors: the extent of periodontal tissue involvement, dental status, hygiene, the patient's willingness to undergo treatment, systemic diseases, smoking, the patient's wishes, the patient's financial means,... It would be easier to make a decision if we could look at the panoramic X-ray and, of course, the condition in the mouth.
Have a nice day!
