How Can A Broken Tooth Be Fixed?

I broken my UL6 tooth which was already filled plus had RCT done
I went to the doctor and he left me without any temp fill
While waiting for app the tooth broken completely and now left roots plus half of my lingual distal tooth wall
How can I restore this tooth ? Was that correct to leave the tooth for more trauma and exposure ?

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Well, if after root canal treatment the tooth is not filled nor the capping was done then it does not last long.

The reason is that the root canal treated tooth is fragile and will break under forces of chewing..

So for the present condition of your tooth you can discuss with an Endodontist if they can do Post and core treatment and save the remaining tooth..

But if the tooth cannot be saved then get it removed and replace it with bridge or Implant..

Hope this helps .

Regards .
