What to do if the root of porcelain teeth becomes inflamed

Nowadays, as people pay more and more attention to their appearance, many people have begun to use different micro-plastic surgery methods to correct some of the defects in their bodies. Porcelain teeth are a way to make up for the deficiencies in teeth and make oneself have more neat and white teeth. However, some people may experience tooth root inflammation after having porcelain teeth done. So, what should they do in this situation?

1. What to do if the root of porcelain teeth becomes inflamed

1. Take a dental X-ray first to see the degree of inflammation of the tooth root. If there is an apical cyst or granuloma caused by chronic inflammation at the root apex, apical root extraction can be performed to eliminate the root inflammation without affecting the retention of the tooth root; if the inflammation recurs only because the previous root canal treatment was not perfect, it is easier to solve and the treatment can be repeated. Since we don't know the specific condition of your tooth roots, if the roots are loose and the degree of looseness is about 2mm, it is recommended to remove them and then insert dentures.

2. The residual roots caused by trauma are very likely to cause this problem when used to make porcelain teeth, and there are likely to be many sequelae. The prognosis is not ideal. Doctors cannot guarantee how many years the treatment will last. Basically, it will take as long as it takes. If the porcelain tooth becomes inflamed at this time. Then your teeth are probably not worth keeping. It is recommended to remove them as soon as possible and consider dental implants.
