Case History
Around 7 months back I had my upper wisdom tooth extracted because it had decayed quite a lot.
A few days back, while eating the outer portion of my upper molar tooth (next to the extracted wisdom tooth) chipped off.
It was almost chipped of till the gum. and had left some very rough edges.
I consulted a dentist who took x-ray and said that the cavity had let to the fracture of the tooth. He said that luckily the cavity has not reached the pulp. So only need a filling and a crown.
I decided to take a second opinion and sought opinion from another dentist. She said that it would be advisable to go for RCT because the cavity has almost reached the pulp.
Now I am confused and don't know which diagnosis is correct. It would be of great help if someone would help me.
Please find attached the X-ray of the broken molar tooth.
Thanks in advance.
