Why do some fractures render the tooth not restorable?
Deep vertical fractures extending below the gumline can allow the continued egress of bacteria into the root canal space resulting in a continued state of infection. Unfortunately, in these cases the only predictable course of action is extraction. Our powerful microscopes help us visualize the extent of most fractures giving us a better idea of how far the damage has gone. This can help us help you determing your treatment options and possible outcomes.
