According to the depth and location of the root canal treatment, filling or crown restoration, crown restoration with stump core, extraction of part of the tooth, implant restoration and other remedial measures can be chosen for the splintered tooth after root canal treatment.
1. Filling or crown restoration: If the part of the tooth that is split after root canal treatment is in the crown, you can choose to fill the restoration; if the area of the crown loss is relatively large, you can carry out full crown restoration after tooth preparation.
2. Pile core restoration: the remaining crown tissue after tooth splitting is relatively small, you can carry out pile core crown restoration, so that the resistance of the tooth tissue increases.
3. Partial extraction: If the tooth splits to the bottom of the pulp chamber and causes the root to separate, the smaller root can be extracted, and the larger root and neighboring teeth can be restored with a crown.
4. Dental implant: The prognosis of root fracture due to tooth splitting is very poor, in this case, the tooth needs to be extracted, and dental implant or other prosthetic restoration will be carried out at a later stage.
After root canal treatment, the tooth splits, timely to the hospital to take dental apical film, under the advice of the doctor to choose the best treatment program.
