Can an infected root canal tooth be saved?
Infected root canal teeth can be saved depending upon the amount of caries and the amount of sound tooth structure remaining after the caries have been removed and the root canal is complete. If it's too far sub osseous it must be extracted. If it is fractured it must be extracted. Sometimes you need soft tissue removal and other times you need a hard tissue crown lengthening. It is most important to create a full ferule and shoulder for the crown restoration to sit on. Usually, I find, that a cast post and core are preferable to a direct post and core build-up. I prefer a PFM crown rather that a PFZ. READ MORE
