Treatment of localized lesion of the tooth and surrounding tissue caused by dental disharmony: Case report

Abstract

The loss of proper contact of the adjacent teeth, which usually occurs as a result of caries or tooth extraction, can lead to serious consequences on oral tissues health as well as on the function of complete oral system, unless timely repaired. It often happens that the irregular contact of the tooth due to inadequate filling remains unnoticed by the patient and dentist. Also, if the loss of contact caused by caries or after tooth extraction is not treated, it often leads to inclination of adjacent teeth and their traumatic contact in relation to the antagonists. If this situation remains for a long time, it can cause significant disorder for which rehabilitation, complex therapy and long period of time are required. The aim of this study was to point out the proper procedure for the treatment of complex lesions of teeth and adjacent tissues, caused by extraction of the second lower right premolar and impaired contact between the first molar and first premolar.
