The crown on the tooth is wobbling

" - Doctor, my crown on my tooth is wobbling, what should I do?" Such a question is not uncommon in the dental office. Not always patients understand why, instead of just fixing the crown, the doctor appoints an examination.

The task of the prosthodontist is not just to fix the prosthesis, but to find out the reason why the crown wobbles after installation.

Without examination, it is impossible to make an accurate diagnosis, and if the cause is not eliminated, the problem will occur again and again.

What causes the crown to wobble?

Part of the dental examination is the collection of anamnesis, especially if the prosthesis is several years old and with the problem you came to the wrong doctor who installed it.

The fact is that there are objective causes of crown loosening.

Dental cement changes its structure over time, and its adhesive (bonding) properties are lost. Crowns on the front teeth are particularly pron…

A crown has come off a tooth: causes and methods of restoration

An artificial crown is placed to strengthen the crown part of the tooth, extend its life, and mask cosmetic defects. The crown needs a support: your own tooth, an inlay or an implant. Crowns are fixed prosthetics, they are designed to restore the tooth row, restore the beauty of the smile and fully participate in the chewing process. Unfortunately, there are situations when a patient discovers that the crown has fallen out. Why does this happen and what is the algorithm of actions if this happens?

Causes of dislocation

Prosthetics is a process that involves 3 people: the prosthodontist, the dental technician and the patient. Each of them determines how long the restoration will last.

Odor from under the crown: causes and consequences

An unpleasant odor from under the crown of the tooth indicates that food residues have gotten under the restoration. They decompose, multiplying the number of bacteria daily and hourly. Pathogens penetrate the hard tissues of the tooth, because the tooth is ground down and there is no protective barrier. The hard tissue begins to rot. In most cases, teeth are depulped before dentures. They remove the nerve-vascular bundle, the pulp, which in its intact state signals problems with pain. Without the pulp, pain is absent and it is not uncommon for caries to completely destroy the hard tissue.

Symptoms of infection may be only sudden loosening of the crown due to tissue loss and a putrid odor.

However, many patients who undergo this procedure are interested in the question, does it hurt to place a crown and how long does it take? Q: I have a badly decayed upper third tooth. I don't want to remove it, but I'm afraid that it will hurt to put a crown. Answer: Absolutely all procedures carried out in ROOTT dentistry are painless: starting with the installation of crowns, ending with implantation with the use of an effective local anesthetic. Question: I want to put a crown on a broken tooth (lower 4). Is there a difference in sensation if I put a metal-ceramic or zirconium crown? Answer: Zirconium crowns allow for the removal of a smaller layer of enamel during preparation. This means that in most cases the nerve can be saved. For metal-ceramics, more enamel must be removed because the crown itself is "thicker" (otherwise an overly thin layer of ceramic will not hide the met…
