With the high quality of services in clinics, there is still a risk of inflammation of the dental unit after dentures. You need to find out what caused it to get rid of it with minimal loss.

Causes of inflammation under dental crowns

• weakly fixed design, which allows pathogenic bacteria to penetrate and act on the ground and susceptible stump;
• inadequate fit of the structure to the residual limb – gaps between the edge of the denture and the base of the tooth. This is a place for food debris to collect, decompose, and turn into pathogenic flora;
• poor quality of treatment, when the canals are filled incompletely or when the root is perforated.

Symptomatology of the inflammatory process that develops under the crown

After placing a prosthesis on the prepared stump, the patient dreams of a problem-free operation of the restored unit. Cases when an inflammatory process appears are not uncommon. The problem is detected by such symptoms:

• pain when pressing;
• swelling of the gingiva in the projection of the prosthetic unit;
• the appearance of a fistula;
• root cyst, which the doctor recognizes on X-ray.

What to do if the tooth under the crown hurts?

The answer is to go to the dentist. So count on the treatment and the possibility of preserving the prosthesis, which is relevant for expensive prostheses.

Treat inflammation in a variety of ways. You need to:

1. Carefully remove the crown, preserving the integrity.
2. Treat the tooth.
3. Put the structure back in place.

This is not always the case, it is difficult to remove the cemented structure without damage.

After the denture is removed (regardless of integrity), the cause of the problem is determined. It is about the need for unsealing and treatment of the inflammation.
Immediately do not install an old or new crown. For treatment requires 2-3 months, then proceed to re-filling the root canals. If the procedures are carried out qualitatively, it is not noticeable on the photo.
