13 Months with crown. Pt extremely happy. No periodontal problems.
Comment: Some patients just do not want teeth removed. If within reason there are alternative treatments for fractured teeth, for instance, if a fractured root can be removed with no undue periodontal problems and the patient understands the home care situation, then amputation is a viable option. The patient must understand that a new crown has to be placed.
