![]() When it Can Help There are several different ways that a pin can help fix a tooth. They are typically a prosthesis that replaces the crown or part of a crown with a pin that goes in the root canal. This allows for repair of the defects of the crown/ Some of the most common reasons for a pin include:
During the preparation for the pin, there are several things to make sure of. The root mis between 8 to 10 mm long. At least two-thirds of the root is for anchoring the pin and a perfect root filling taken out when necessary. When it Won't Work There are times when it is not possible to turn to a pin to fix a problem. If the root is too short or a curve or if part of the tooth is broken underneath the gum, it is not possible. When the tooth is loose due to gum disease or if the root canal is too narrow the pin may not work. To find out more about how a pin works and if it is something that can help you with a problem you have, contact the dental professionals at our offices to schedule an appointment. |
