Fractures are a common occurrence in the world of dentistry. Fractures or fissures occur with all ages, although they are more present in people over the age of 25. They can be very painful, difficult to diagnose, yet sometimes easy to treat. There are several types of fractures, which we will look at below.
The first type of ***** is known as an oblique gingival fracture. This fracture is found above the gums, and usually happens when you bite into something. Normally, the nerve is not involved in this fracture. Once the fractured part of the tooth breaks through, the pain will go away. Although loose dentin can cause some pain, you can go to the dentist and have it repaired. If the fracture is large, you may need to put a crown on the tooth to prevent further fractures in that tooth.
The second type of ***** occurs far below the gum line, and is known as an oblique gingival fracture. Once the broken piece of tooth is broken, it normally stays attached to the gums and causes terrible pain until you remove it. Once you have removed the tooth fragments from the gums, the tooth will become similar to a gingival fracture. It usually does not affect nerves, although you may need a root canal to clean the tooth before the crown is placed, as a result of the area of the tooth being lost.
The severity of this fracture depends on how far it has moved from the gum line. If it has grown deep into the gum line, you may not be able to save the tooth. ***** can be present for many years before you begin to feel any pain. To be safe, you should visit your dentist for regular check-ups, as he can check for cracks and other problems.
Oblique root fracture is next, although it does not involve the tooth crown at all. This type of fracture is almost always found under the gums, usually under the ****. If a root fracture is found near the crown of the tooth, it will normally prove fatal. Sometimes, you can save the tooth with a root canal, even though it is usually lost later due to the abscess surrounding the fracture.
The last type of fracture is the most difficult to deal with. Vertical apical root fractures occur along the tip of the root, and you can have severe to severe pain, even after you have removed the nerve from the root canal. Even if the nerve is not present, a vertical apical root fracture causes great pain, which occurs in the tooth.
In general, vertical crest fractures cause you more pain than any other type of fracture. The resulting pain comes from the pieces exerting pressure on the ****, causing the fractured pieces to become tense. The only way to get relief from this type of fracture is through a root canal, as this will reduce the pain and remove the dead pulp from the tooth affected by the fracture.
Even though fractures are very common and very painful, you should never stop going to the dentist. Fractures can become more and more serious if you don't do something about them, so you should never hesitate to go to the dentist. Your dentist will be able to diagnose the problem, and fix it before it has a chance to get worse.
