Well Worth the Wait!

£0.00

The patient presented with a fractured front tooth, previously repaired with a white filling at another dental practice.

  • A mysterious aspect was the presence of silver filling on the upper front tooth.

  • The tooth was significantly smaller than adjacent teeth, and there was limited space to increase its length.

  • The tooth lacked the required length for crowning, which typically requires a minimum of 4mm of tooth structure.

Treatment:

  • To address the issue, a procedure called crown lengthening was performed. This procedure involved ensuring adequate root length and sufficient bone around the root.

  • Approximately 1-2 mm of gum and bone were removed to lengthen the tooth, making it suitable for a crown.

  • After the crown lengthening, a waiting period of 6 months was observed to allow the gums to stabilize.

  • Once the gums had healed and stabilized, impressions were taken for the fabrication of a crown.

Outcome:

  • For this cooperative patient, a single-tooth crown lengthening procedure was initially performed.

  • A provisional crown was provided for the 6-month period during which the gums stabilized.

  • Following this waiting period, a single crown was crafted, and the result was a perfect match.

  • The patient expressed great satisfaction with the outcome.

This case emphasizes the complexity of addressing a fractured tooth with limited natural structure and the importance of procedures like crown lengthening to create a suitable foundation for restorative work. The patient's cooperation and the extended treatment journey led to a highly satisfactory result.
