I Removed My Tooth With Resorption Problems.. The Dentist Asked


External root resorption, gum diseases, bone scan, CBCT
Detailed Answer:
Tha na for your query. I have gone through your query and images.
As per the images of the tooth, there is external resorption of the roots. This can occur secondary to any pathologies like gum diseases (periodontitis), abscess or cysts in the root tip area. For the resorption of the roots to happen it takes more than 6 months to a year.
Regarding the fitness to get an implant done, you have to get a scan done like cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)of the same area where u will come to know the amount of bone height and width available and the quality of the bone. If sufficient bone height and width is available, you can go for implants.
The resoption of the roots will not cause any heart disease.
I hope I have answered your query.
If you have any queries reply me back. Take care.

Consult an oral physician, get CBCT done
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your reply. The resorption of the roots occurs when there is a pressure effect on the roots either by a gum infection or cyst or a tumor. The upper molars will have three roots and lower molars will have two roots. Some times the upper molars may have two roots also. The images what you have uploaded llooks like having three roots.
CBCT will have minimal exposure, you can get it done. Before commenting whether it is inflammatory or some thing else, you need to get it evaluated by consuling an oral physician and get it diagnosed. The root resorption will not have any systemic effects. The cause for root resorption has to be found first. For this you need to get the CBCT done.
If the bone height and width is sufficient you can get the implants done.
I hope I have answered your query. if you have any queries reply me back.

Root fracture, get a OPG/CBCT done for confirmation
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your reply. I have gone through the X ray image, as per the X ray image, it looks like a fractured root rather than a resorbed root. Kindly get an orthopantomograph or OPG or a CBCT scan to rule out any retained root stumps. The image quality is not good to confirm the diagnosis. Nothing to be panic. The tooth might have fractured secondary to abnormal chewing forces like biting on hard substance.

OPG/CBCT, Severe gum infection
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your reply.
I have gone through the X-ray images. I cannot comment on the status of the implant based on these images since the quality of the image is bad. I have already advised to get the CBCT/OPG done to check the bone level and we can see the status of implant. When there is severe gum infection it can resorb the roots of many teeth. kindly get the investigations what I have told and upload the images. As per the images, it does not look like a tumor.
