Recommend second-molar replacement when function or posterior support is inadequate and the new tooth can function. Monitor when the first molar and bite are stable. Diagnose and treat cracks, inflammation or repeated damage before deciding on extra support.

Full-arch restoration is one way to replace all teeth in an arch. Compare the prosthesis design, remaining teeth, bone, temporary teeth and maintenance before choosing a plan.

A painful tooth does not automatically need a root canal, and a tooth with little pain may still be infected. Symptoms, pulp tests, imaging, cracks and the possibility of restoration guide treatment.

Exposed pulp does not automatically mean a root canal. Examination and findings during treatment determine whether vital pulp therapy can preserve healthy pulp; the final seal and follow-up matter too.

Jaw sounds alone do not always require treatment. Pain, locking, opening range and daily function help distinguish joint and muscle problems and guide conservative care and follow-up.

A large cavity may be suitable for resin build-up when sufficient sound tooth and bonding surfaces remain. Thin or cracked areas may need coverage with an onlay or crown. The decision about pulp or root canal treatment is separate from the choice of restoration.

Long-term service depends on the tooth’s starting condition, bonding, bite and ongoing care. Tooth next to the resin can develop new decay. A chip or new pain needs assessment so that repair or more extensive treatment addresses the cause.

A dark inlay margin is not always decay. If sound tooth remains after removal, resin build-up or a partial restoration may be possible. Extensive wall damage or cracks may need broader protection, while pulp health requires its own assessment.

Coffee and tea stains on tooth surfaces may be treated during the AIRFLOW stage of GBT. This is different from bleaching the tooth’s intrinsic colour. A single darkening tooth, pain or a damaged restoration needs diagnosis before cosmetic cleaning.

Six support points can provide structural stability when the available bone, implant distribution, restoration rigidity and bite are planned together. We usually consider six implants and assess four carefully in special cases with severe bone loss and limited placement sites.

Immediate placement, delayed placement and same-day temporary teeth are separate decisions. Bone, infection, implant stability and the final tooth position determine timing.

Work back from the intended final teeth, check the plan against the actual mouth and carry lessons from temporary teeth into the final restoration.
