Same case — what treatment would you do to save the appliance (RPD with precision attachment)?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Root canal treatment (RCT)
- A. Extraction would sacrifice the abutment tooth and compromise the existing prosthesis, when RCT may be able to save it.
- B. Correct. Performing RCT on the necrotic, symptomatic tooth (#21) while preserving the existing crown/attachment system allows the appliance to be saved rather than remade.
