HALF DAMAGED TOOTH
Hi Doctors, I have visited my dentist for silver filling two years back in my 13th teeth, but just one month back my filling removed from its place & i visited a local clinic for check up. According to my dentist during silver filling my cavity was not cleaned properly & that leads to internal damage. but still i dont have any issue of pain & puss. While check up half of my crown got removed. Please suggest me whether i should go for replacement or RCT+Capping. Please find my xray below. Please reply ASAP.

Hello, your x-ray shows that the cavity is very close to the pulp, in such cases it would be better to go for RCT and then post and core (if required) and then crown. As you said you don't have any pain, so filling can also be done, but there are high chances that you might experience pain after the filling. And proper treatment can only be suggested after thorough visual examination.
