Summirow Dental

A patient visited Summirow Dental with severe pain in the lower right back tooth region, especially while biting. The discomfort initially seemed to come from the wisdom tooth, but detailed examination showed that the actual problem was tooth 47. A positive cotton roll bite test suggested Cracked Tooth Syndrome. Root canal treatment was started in an attempt to preserve the natural tooth, and the patient initially felt relief. However, 10 days later, the patient returned with increased pain and swelling. Further evaluation showed that the crack had progressed into a vertical root fracture, making the tooth non-restorable. After discussing the options, tooth 47 was carefully extracted. Since the surrounding bone was suitable, an immediate dental implant was placed in the same appointment. Immediate implant placement in carefully selected cases can help reduce the number of surgical procedures and support preservation of the surrounding bone. This case highlights why sharp pain while biting or pain when releasing pressure should not be ignored. Early diagnosis of a cracked tooth may improve the chances of preserving the natural tooth. 📍 Summirow Dental, Vesu, Surat 📞 +91 9377777303 16 hours ago
