So we advised removal of that tooth and explained the replacement options[Removable,Fixed(bridge & implant)].We explained the advantages and disadvantages for each one.
REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURE
Removable type
Advantages:- No damage to the adjacent teeth
- Affordable
Disadvantages:
- Uncomfortable
- Covers the roof of the mouth,hence it affects the speech,function and taste sensation
- The bone where the tooth is missing will continue to shrink as the bone is not in function
- As the bone and tissues continue to shrink,the denture will become loose and will need frequent replacement.
