If a large tooth is drilled and cracked, a radiograph is needed to check the depth of the crack. If the crack causes a longitudinal root fracture, it needs to be extracted; if the crack causes a root fracture, it can be root canalized or extracted depending on the situation.
1. Longitudinal root fracture. A large tooth is also known as a molar, the molar is drilled and cracked, indicating that the tooth tissue is relatively fragile, and if the fracture line causes a longitudinal fracture of the root, the tooth can not be retained, and the tooth needs to be extracted.
2. Root fracture. If the crack reaches the gingival sulcus, the upper section of the crown can’t be retained after removing the crown part of the root canal treatment, pile core crown repair, if the crack reaches the root neck and the root, the tooth can’t be retained and needs to be extracted.
It is recommended to go to the hospital in time to avoid deepening the crack or causing periodontal inflammation.
