Whether to do root canal treatment or extraction depends on the severity of the condition. For patients with less severe conditions, where the fissure has not reached the root of the tooth, root canal treatment can be carried out, while patients whose fissure has already reached the root of the tooth need to undergo extraction treatment. What kind of treatment is needed for a cracked tooth needs to be chosen according to the severity of the crack. Generally speaking, a cracked tooth that has not reached the root can be retained and treated with root canal therapy, followed by crown restoration, which will restore the normal function of the tooth. However, if the fissure is deep to the root of the tooth, or if the root of the tooth has obvious inflammation, it may be necessary to consider extracting the tooth for treatment, and then proceed to dental implants after extraction, or if the fissure occurs in the wisdom tooth, then dental implant treatment can not be carried out. If you are diagnosed with a fissured tooth, please follow your doctor’s instructions for treatment.
