Waste of money? For someone to save their tooth.

Unless the person is not well to do.

Can a tooth with a large hole be cured without extraction?

Asking for my kid bro

jikins:
You don't understand oral anatomy is why you are talking this way. Yes it is a waste because most times that tooth will still develop problems after. The third molar is a very notorious tooth its why Dentist will advise you to remove it when it has problems.

But hey who am I to stop you. It just means more money for the Dentist on the regular

YellowbaMoslem:
If i don't understand it, i can still use my self as an example.

I did it, and also crowned it.

For years now I'm not having any problem. As a matter of fact, it appears to be my safest tooth from any possible infection since it's covered with sliver.

jikins:
Well it isnt covered with silver thats for sure except you mean a silver crown and yeah adding a crown will definitely removed the problems with the third molar. But removing it doesnt do any harm either its just saves you money. It would be way cheaper and it wont affect you one bit. Thats the point about knowing oral anatomy, you can remove all your third molars and be completely fine eating whatever you want. Its that simple. Alot of the population in this country can't afford RCT and a crown expecially when its on a tooth that you can remove and it doesnt affect your oral functions in anyway.

YellowbaMoslem:
I know.but if you are bouyant enough, you wouldn't want to remove it.

jikins:
Na your type of patients dentist dey find. But there are situations where you just can't save it. Not everyone's condition is the same. I remember seeing the xray of a 1st molar and its very clear nothing was saving it.

Those situations are very common with third molars because of how and when they erupt. That's why they are very notorious. What you treated was an endodontic lesion depending on the orientation of the tooth it might be prone to perio lesions.

Most times these tooth can come with a combined perio and endo lesion which are a pain to treat. So yes its good to keep a tooth but a good dentist always think long term.

If you look at the op picture you can suspect there could be a perio lesion there too. Obviously investigations need to be done to confirm.

YellowbaMoslem:
Yes, dentists need to eat. I'm not removing a salvageable tooth forever because of money, something that was below 100k.

People are different, the only time i would lose my tooth is if its not salvageable or that I don't have the money to treat it.

The doctor would first observe it and tell you the possible solutions, to extract or to treat.

So if RCT costs 2 hundred naira, would you ask some to save the 2 hundred and remove his tooth?

People have different financial capacity, so that is that.

jikins:
If RCT won't fix it sure thats the point then they remove it. RCT isn't the be all and end all. Medical conditions are different your own was a case of endodontic lesion which RCT can fix doesn't mean op will be the same thing.

If op tooth is extracted doesn't mean he was dumb or he didn't have the means. But his own issues were different from yours. Trying to put everyone in your own boat is the problem here.

It just like saying because amoxicllin worked for me it will work for everyone.

These are your words "poverty has made people throwaway their tooth forever. Do RCT and crown it". When you don't even know the diagnosis. When you don't even know if RCT will do anything. You are already proffering medical procedures and being condescending to people without means.

Looking at the picture it doesn't look like what you had its looking more complicated. But in your head since RCT worked for me it must work for everyone else

YellowbaMoslem:
You are the one channeling what i said to displease yourself.

I didn't condescend on anyone, i simply stated my observations.

Many people i know have removed their tooth just because of minor tooth decay.

jikins:
Lol didnt you say those words? Didn't you say he should do a procedure without even knowing if it will help. Didn't you say poverty has made people throwaway their tooth forever. That is a condescending statement like it or not. I ain't channeling anything I am not Doctor strange . I am only pointing out the problems with what you said. If you want to live in denial thats your prerogative but I will call it as I see it.

YellowbaMoslem:
Poverty has made many people remove their tooth that RCT can fix, that's an obvious fact and you know it.

Ejiakusmith:
Same tooth 🦷🦷🦷 issues with me I removed de one on my left side in 2016 now 2023 it's back again on my right tooth 🦷🦷 and it has big hole very painful 😣😣 but antibiotics helps to drain the pain (9k I buy that drugs 💊 oo) haven't bought such in my life before

otherway:
Did you just say regenerate?

What is more important is to cure the toothache.

If it is a parmament tooth then regeneration is out of it.
