One of those challenging cases where saving the natural tooth was the goal. 🤍
This case involved a severely compromised wisdom tooth with a challenging calcified canals, severe gingival inflammation, and extensive caries affecting the surrounding teeth.
Despite the complexity of the case, we decided to treat and preserve the wisdom tooth rather than extract it, especially because it was the last remaining tooth in the arch.
After managing the infection and treating the involved teeth, a dental bridge was placed to restore both function and aesthetics.
✨ The result was not only about improving the appearance, but also about:
• Preserving a natural tooth that could have been lost.
• Managing the existing infection and caries.
• Restoring the missing teeth.
• Re-establishing proper function and aesthetics.
……Not every wisdom tooth needs to be extracted.
When possible, preserving a natural tooth can be the best option. The decision always depends on the tooth’s condition, restorability, function, and the overall treatment plan.
