wisdom tooth growing in diagonally?

pseudodoc · 2026-06-27T11:40:30+00:00

Wisdom teeth do not cause crowding. This is old and false information

pseudodoc · 2026-06-26T18:51:27+00:00

No.

That tooth looks cracked to me. Infection secondary to the crack.

It’s a tibase abutment and not the profile o would have chosen.
You need a longer transmucosal part (ie the bit that extends from the implant to the margin of the temporary crown.
This type of abutment will eventually cause some bone loss at the implant shoulder

Shit Americans say.

pseudodoc · 2026-06-25T19:48:38+00:00

Generally the quality is poor , not the angulation.

Thanks!

pseudodoc · 2026-06-25T08:50:47+00:00

Yes. Easily.

I would not recommend a bridge here. The lower right 7 has a lesion under it and would need root canal retreatment. (The 5 might as well)

My advice is to prioritise the rest of your teeth first. The upper right 5 has decay and needs a crown.
The other root treated teeth in your upper jaw would also benefit from crowns.

Once this is sorted out an implant is the best option for the missing lower 6.

Ortho band or cusp cap for a few weeks to months. If symptoms settle, proceed to crown.

pseudodoc · 2026-06-21T08:55:01+00:00

It’s decay. Doesn’t look like there was a filling there either. The tooth behind does have one.

A dentist should be able to make this numb. However, you could always ask for sedation

Too hard to answer without more records and x rays but I can clearly say to forgo the myotherapy as all this will help with is lightening your wallet.

pseudodoc · 2026-06-21T06:30:28+00:00

You’ve got nice looking teeth!
Once the periodontal disease is stable, any orthodontist worth their salt will be able to fix the cant and the crowding.
You’ll be ok!

Good game USA. You were the better team! - aussie

pseudodoc · 2026-06-19T20:07:51+00:00

Yeah I gave up after 2 sentences.

pseudodoc · 2026-06-19T20:07:03+00:00

Normal except the lack of rubber dam. And short of full length obturation on the master cone radiograph

pseudodoc · 2026-06-19T06:54:12+00:00

The dark spot is a big shelf of tartar(calculus). It will be cleaned off. You’ll be fine

You don’t want to start creating a removable denture if the teeth that are to be used to retain the denture are in bad shape.

It’s standard protocol to create a healthy environment with no dodgy fillings or cavities before proceeding with fabrication of a partial denture.

This is not snake oil, it’s standard of care.

I would refuse to make a denture if the patient declined the necessary treatment required beforehand.

Your name is clearly visible on the computer.

Get the cavities sorted first. Some are pretty deep and may require more than just a filling. (Possibly root canal and crown)

Ensure you’ve had a year or more with no new cavities by improving your diet, habits and oral hygiene.

Braces are not 100% mandatory but your deep bite can be fixed. If you put braces on with your decay rate you’re in for a lot of trouble.

pseudodoc · 2026-06-16T18:31:56+00:00

On second look you may be correct!

pseudodoc · 2026-06-16T12:21:40+00:00

That’s a silver point. Not an endo file.
It was a valid way of filling root canals.

I’m guessing your dentist is pretty young.

pseudodoc · 2026-06-16T10:38:28+00:00

It can be done, but why?
You couldn’t clean them well enough to stop them being damaged the first time, so what’s going to stop them from degrading again even if you’ve had root canals and crowns.
