1. Can a tooth told to be extracted really be saved?

Yes. Many teeth diagnosed for extraction can still be preserved through:

• Microscope-assisted adhesive repair (when the crack is shallow)
• Intentional replantation (when extraoral repair is required)

We evaluate the crack depth, bone condition, and infection status using CT and a Leica® microscope.

2. How do you diagnose root fractures?

We use:

• CT scan (bone loss, fracture direction)
• Microscope inspection (fine cracks)
• Probing and mobility testing

Early diagnosis significantly improves the treatment outcome.

3. Is intentional replantation painful?

No. It is performed under local anesthesia. Any postoperative discomfort is typically mild and manageable.

4. How long does treatment take?

• Adhesive repair: several visits (~1 month)
• Intentional replantation: 3–6 months including crown placement

Most severe root-fracture cases finish full restoration in about 4 months.

5. How long can the saved tooth last?

Longevity depends on:

• Fracture severity
• Periodontal condition
• Bite forces

When repaired properly and adjusted occlusally, many preserved teeth last for years.

6. Do you accept patients from outside Osaka?

Yes. Many patients travel from Kansai, Kanto, Shikoku, Hokuriku, and even overseas. We support treatment schedules for long-distance patients.
