INFORMATIONAL INFORMED CONSENT

REMOVAL OF CROWNS AND BRIDGES

I UNDERSTAND that the REMOVAL OF CROWNS AND BRIDGES includes possible inherent risks. such as, but not limited to the following: and understand that no promises or guarantees have been made or implied that the results of such treatment will be successful.

  1. Fracture or breakage: Many crowns and bridges are fabricated either entirely in porcelain or with porcelain fused to an underlying metal structure. In the attempt to remove these types of crowns, they may fracture (break) even though the attempt to remove them is done as carefully as possible.
  1. Fracture or breakage of the tooth from which the crown is removed: Because of the leverage of torque pressures necessary in removing a crown from a tooth, there is a possibility of fracturing or chipping of the tooth. At times these fractures are extensive enough to necessitate extracting the tooth.
  1. Trauma to the tooth: Because of the pressure and/or torque necessary in some cases to remove a crown, these pressures or torque may result in the tooth being traumatized and the nerve (pulp) injured which may necessitate a root canal treatment in order to preserve the tooth. Instruments used to remove. crowns and bridges may inadvertently lacerate the gums, other tissues within the mouth, and tongue.
  1. Failure of conventional methods in removing crowns: There are certain methods and instruments which are utilized in conventional attempts to remove crowns from teeth. In some instances, none of these methods or instruments will effectively remove the crown from a tooth may result in the tooth being inadvertently extracted. This may necessitate a new bridge or addition and extension of the existing bridge if the tooth is an abutment tooth for a bridge; or the construction of a bridge if this is an individual tooth within an existing arch or teeth.
  1.  Inadvertent extraction of the crowned tooth: In extremely rare cases, the amount of pressure or torque necessary to remove the crown from a tooth may result in the tooth being inadvertently extracted. This may necessitate a new bridge or addition and extension of the existing bridge if the tooth is an abutment tooth for a bridge; or construction of a bridge if this is an individual tooth within an existing arch of teeth.  

6. As in other types of dental treatment: It is the patient’s responsibility to seek attention should any undue circumstances occur postoperatively. The patient must diligently follow any preoperative and postoperative instructions given.
