Risks of a crown restoration

That a crown will last a lifetime seems rather unrealistic in most cases. Inflammation can spread underneath or other complications can lead to premature loss. If the gums become inflamed and the inflammation possibly spreads to the bone, the loss rate is high.

Reasons for this can be an already existing gum disease or new accumulation of bacteria, among others due to a lack of oral hygiene. Plaque accumulates on the crown and irritates the surrounding gums.If the tooth is root-treated, a possible loss of crown is very likely, since such teeth have a reduced life expectancy in principle. Strong grinding or clenching of the teeth can also promote premature loss. Of course, it is also possible that the dentist or dental technician did not work cleanly enough and loss may occur due to inaccuracies in the fit and the associated caries.

Summary

Pain under a crown is usually a sign that there is something wrong with the final denture and that it needs to be replaced. Caries in the marginal area is the most common cause of this problem. It spreads quickly and causes an unpleasant pulsating pain, so you should see a dentist as soon as possible so that the pain can be eliminated quickly.
