Prosthodontics & Occlusion · single question

For that repeatedly debonding crown with a deep bite, what should you do NEXT?

  1. Analyze the occlusion
  2. Immediately remake the crown
  3. Extract the tooth
  4. Place a longer post
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Analyze the occlusion

  • A. Correct. Identify and correct the occlusal cause first (occlusal analysis) before refabricating, or the new crown will fail too.
  • B. Remaking without addressing occlusion repeats the failure.
  • C. Extraction is unjustified for a restorable tooth.
  • D. A longer post does not solve an occlusal overload problem and risks root fracture.
