Hi Doc, My third molar teeth ( btw to quarter to half ) has broken.. I do not know the reason. Also I don't see any cavity in that teeth I also have no pain. But because there is no half teeth there is a hole. Please let me know if I should fill it up with cement or what should be done. Let me know in case you require more details. Thanks

Without a proper clinical examination, an accurate diagnosis cannot be made and a rational treatment plan cannot be suggested. Still a few things can be told to you. Do not delay the treatment till the tooth becomes symptomatic and you develop any pain in that. Mostly wisdom teeth are non-functional and instead of root canal treatment or fillings, extraction is the preferred treatment modality for a permanent solution to the problem. But if it is in functional occlusion, it can be filled by tooth coloured filling or can be root canal treated followed by a crown. Regards.
