Broken molar teeth
One of my molar teeth has broken. As per X-Ray, the roots are intact and fine, but the upper part is missing. I do not feel any pain in that region. What treatment would you advise other than extraction and implant?

If your remaining portion of the tooth is sound and intact then its definitely possible to save it with root canal, later by post and core build up,followed by a crown. Final decision Depends on clinical examination by your dentist. Visit as soon as possible to avoid further damage of your remaining part of the tooth as it may break due to chewing forces.
