🦷 1. Regarding the Dislodged Bridge: If only one of the abutment teeth is fractured, and the other is clinically and radiographically healthy, there’s no need to extract the intact tooth — especially if you plan to go for a removable partial denture (RPD). RPDs can be customized to fit around existing natural teeth, and preserving natural teeth is always preferred whenever possible. 🦠 2. Regarding the Lower RCT-Treated Tooth with Infection: Infection without pain does not automatically mean extraction. The next step should be: Take an IOPA or RVG X-ray. Evaluate if the tooth has: Periapical radiolucency (indicating chronic infection) Root fracture or Compromised structure If the tooth is restorable, a Re-RCT (retreatment) is often successful. However, if the damage is extensive or infection persists, then extraction may be the better long-term solution.

Hello ma'am, If one tooth is fractured then it might need extraction and the other tooth which is intact no need to remove it. Rvg and clinical evaluation is required to evaluate fractured tooth for proper treatment. For a lower tooth, please share an x-ray.

Fractured tooth should be removed So Go with your dentist advice they know about your condition

Hello mam Sorry to hear ur bride dislodged For now if doctor is saying one teeth is healthy and other is fractured The fractured one need to be removed then Thanks

Hello It will be better you share us the xray image so can guide you through

No,you do not have to remove both the teeth. The one which is fractured have to be removed. But the teeth which is intact, need NOT to be removed. Also the RCT done teeth ,which has infection but no pain. Need to see the xray of that teeth. Seeing xray I can advice you the best.

Hello There is no need to extract the tooth that is healthy without pain The one which is fractured has to be removed For the treated tooth if it is good, unhealthy, it can be treated with re root canal

Hello! If only one of the bridge-supporting teeth is fractured, only that one may need extraction. The intact tooth can often be saved if it’s healthy on X-ray. For the lower RCT tooth with infection but no pain — it depends on the X-ray. If retreatment is possible, extraction may not be needed. But if the infection is severe, extraction might be the best option. Final call should be made after reviewing the X-ray.

Hi, Share your x-rays.

Regarding the bridge that has dislodged: since one of the supporting teeth is fractured, that particular tooth does need to be extracted. However, the second tooth, which is still intact, does not necessarily need to be removed, especially if it is healthy and stable. It can be retained and does not need to be extracted just to accommodate a removable partial denture (RPD). The RPD can be designed around the existing tooth. As for the lower tooth with a previous root canal treatment that has now developed an infection — even though you’re not experiencing pain — I would strongly recommend getting an IOPA radiograph (X-ray) done. This will help us assess the remaining tooth structure and the extent of the infection. Based on the radiographic findings, we can decide whether a re-root canal treatment (Re-RCT) is possible or if extraction is the better option.
