<s>[INST] I had one of the upper-jaw tooths root canaled.Post treatment, I used tove food lodgment problem surrounding the cavities adjoining the gums of treated tooth i.e: small slices of food teer into the gums and cavities. When I went to see a Dr, she removed the cap along with which the tooth part came out.Dr. has suggested me 3 options :1) Have an implant of metal by removing the root.2) Have a bridge by cutting the left-adjacent natural tooth and removing the cap of right-adjacent root-canaled tooth.Which one would be better option to prevent food lodgment? 1 or 2?Would you suggest 3) a replacement of cap? or4) I may leave it as it is without any cap.Is it advisable? Pros and cons? [/INST] Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Based on the treatment options put before you, it is not advisable to leave the tooth as it is now. It has to be rehabilitated. If I had a patient having the same conditions, I would go for the re-replacement of the cap of that particular tooth, provided there was sufficient sound tooth structure left behind. If there is minimal tooth structure going for implant would be the option provided all the criteria for the placement of the implant is met. Implant placement will not affect the adjacent good teeth. Have it evaluated with your dentist and go ahead with the treatment. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards. </s>
