\"Question<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hello.
From the heart of Seomyeon,
drawing tomorrow's smile,
This is Smile Digital Dental Clinic :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When an old front-tooth crown is removed and almost no natural tooth remains above the gum,
does the tooth always have to be extracted?
When a tooth is badly damaged and only the root remains, extraction may sometimes be necessary.
However, depending on the evaluation of the length and shape of the root, the extent of decay or fracture, the condition of the periodontal tissue and alveolar bone,
and whether the remaining tooth can be restored again,
there are also cases in which preserving the natural tooth
and treating it again with a crown can be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I will introduce a case in which an old front-tooth restoration was removed and only the root remained,
and the remaining natural tooth was used to treat it again with a zirconia crown,
in a female patient in her 60s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
