35 yrold healthy non-smoking female- had orthodontia as between 13-16 years old.
I was prescribed a DPAS dental splint in 2018. I wore it off and on, I’ll be honest my wearing was very inconsistent. In 2020 I went to see my dentist for a bump on the roof of my mouth. Turns out I had an abcess and my teeth 6,7,8,9 and 10 were all non vital. The abcess was asymptomatic. I was told I need root canals on the teeth. The root canal specialist asked if anything traumatic happened to my teeth, no. But upon thinking, could the anterior splint I was prescribed have caused the trauma? Why would 5 teeth just suddenly die?
