Should root canal with crown lengthening or implantation be done?
Patient: hi i would like to get a suggestion from you. I have got root canal treatment six years back and now i am getting problem with that tooth. food particle are stucking in between the teeth where the crown is placed and getting gum pain. i visited doctor here in boston and the doctor gave me 2 choices. one is to redo the rootcanal, crown lengthening,post followed by a crown and the second chioce is go for implantation. can you suggest me which one is good for me? thank you Doctor: Hi,Thanks for posting the query,      I would suggest you to get your full mouth scaling and [polishing done also see if there is any problem with the crown fixed if so then get it removed or refixed..  Of the above two options ofcourse the first one will be good because it does not require the tooth to be removed, for the last you can think for the implant placement......Hope you find this as helpful,Take care!
