If the tooth is broken in half at the age of 15, according to the degree of tooth breakage, composite resin filling, root canal treatment or apical induction plasty, extraction and other treatment programs are chosen.
1. Composite resin filling: If the nerve of the tooth is not exposed when the tooth is broken in half, you can choose composite resin filling after acid etching, but it is better not to use the affected tooth to eat too hard food, so as not to dislodge the filling material, in addition, if you consider the resistance type, you need to carry out a crown restoration.
2. Root canal treatment or apical induction molding: If the tooth is broken in half, resulting in the exposure of the nerve, and the root of the tooth has been developed, root canal treatment will be carried out first, and then crown restoration will be carried out; if the root of the tooth has not been developed, apical induction molding will be carried out to promote the continued development of the root of the tooth.
3. Tooth extraction: if the tooth is broken in half and one side is broken to more than 3mm under the gum, the stability of the tooth is poor, the tooth will be extracted in time, and then dental implants or other denture restoration will be carried out at a later stage.
The 15-year-old tooth is broken in half in time to the hospital to take dental apical film, to determine the degree of tooth fracture, to take the best treatment program.
