Azmi, came to see me with a request to fix his broken front tooth. He had it filled up 2 weeks ago with another dentist at other dental clinic. He was referred by one of my patients. After the initial examination, I explained to Azmi my findings:
After the lengthy explanation, I suggested few treatments to him. I would fix the broken tooth by putting a composite resin material and adding 1 pin as an anchor to it. Next we need to fabricate an upper night guide for his bruxism habit. Third step would be a lower denture to replace the missing molars so he can chew more using his back teeth rather than the front. I also explained to him, if the filling brake or dislodge again in future, the next step would be crown the tooth. He agreed with my treatment plan.
After 45 minutes, I finally happy with the result. My nurse handed him a mirror. Upon looking at his own reflection, he smiled wide and nodded his head. ” Looks like a real tooth to me Doc” he said. “That’s my intention” I replied.
