The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] I had one of the upper-jaw tooths root canaled.Post treatment, I used tove food lodgment problem surrounding the cavities adjoining the gums of treated tooth i.e: small slices of food teer into the gums and cavities. When I went to see a Dr, she removed the cap along with which the tooth part came out.Dr. has suggested me 2 options :1) Have an implant of metal by removing the root.2) Have a bridge by cutting the left-adjacent natural tooth and removing the cap of right-adjacent root-canaled tooth.Which one would be better option to prevent food lodgment? 1 or 2?Would you suggest 3) a replacement of cap? or 4) leave the root-canaled tooth without a cap
[|AI|]  Hello, I went through your query. If more than 75% of tooth structure is lost then placing a crown (cap) on the broken tooth is not recommended. Otherwise, there is a possibility of placing a Post and Core on the tooth. That has to be decided by your dentist based on the condition of the tooth. Also, I would not recommend leave the broken tooth without a crown. And between dental implants and bridge, I would recommend a Dental implant, if the condition of the bone is sound, because it does not involve preparation (cutting) of the adjacent teeth. Hope you are benefited by the answer.
