Dear all,
I had my UR6 root-treated by an Endondontist about 9 years ago. The pain never settled however the Endodontist would not revisit the tooth as there was no obvious sign of infection.
A few months later a Maxillofacial Surgeon explored the tooth surgically and noted an infection. He then performed apical surgery on the tooth. The pain never settled.
The tooth was fitted with an onlay and not a crown which my dentist should have advised on but did not.
I underwent a cone beam CT scan last year and this revealed a fractured root canal filling.
I recently reverted back to the Endondontist who initially treated the tooth but he now asserts that the tooth may be cracked due to the fact that it was not fitted with a crown.
My questions:
1. Is there another examination that can be carried out to determine if the tooth has a crack?
2. Am I being fobbed off by the Endodontist (again)?
Many thanks.
