front crown
by Maria13, Jun 24, 2008 11:26AM
A slight accident knocked out my front crown. The crown and post was intact. (I've had a root canal done a long tiime ago) One dentist said that I could have it re-cement back in. (x-ray shows that I have enough existing tooth to support the crown and the crown appears to still fit nicely) Another dentist wants me to have a periodontist cut the gum line and bone to see if the existing tooth has a fracture. He does not say it is fractured but wants me to have this procedure done to see if it is fractured. What should I do? Can't the x-ray alone show a fracture on the remaining tooth? The crown is temp. cemented in and feels fine.
