Case Study (optimal treatment plan)



Hi everyone ...
any help with this case study

A healthy 36-year-old male patient presents requesting treatment for
"broken back teeth". Examination shows a fully dentate mouth with
extensive amalgams in a number of posterior teeth and composite
restorations in most of anterior teeth.
There is gingival bleeding on gentle probing in all quadrants and PPD
of 3-5mm in posterior segments. There is plaque and supragingival
calculus detected in lower anterior and upper posterior segments.
Tooth 16 has been root filled and extensively restored with amalgam.
Mesio-buccal cusp has fractured. A periapical radiograph shows
well-defined periapical radiolucency apparently associated with the
palatal root.
Tooth 15 has been heavily restored with extensive MODPal pinned amalgam
restoring palatal cusp. The buccal cusp has fractured below the level
of the gingival attachment.
Tooth 14 has minimal mesial and distal proximal composite restorations
with early recurrent caries at the gingival margins.
Discuss the case assessment, possible treatment options with
advantages and disadvantages of every option.
Discuss optimal treatment plan addressing this patient clinical
problems.
