Dear Sir/Madam,
My teeth number 7,8,9 (front side teeth) has PFM bridge (percelain fused to Metal) fixed 10 years ago.
Currently, junk on that metal surface. Because of this junk, teeth under that bridge may be have Decay. Doctor said first open that Bridge, after that only they can decide Filling OR Root canal require. Doctor also said 1 full day patient has to drink Cold/Hot water without Bridge to know sensitivity of that 3 teeth.
It means, I done big mistake by selecting PFM cap, 10 years ago.
In future, I have to go with All ceramic cap, PFZ, Zirconia OR Emax cap only, which do not contain METAL.
Herewith, I have attached 2 attachments.
Please help....
Thanks...
