Traumatic dental injuries on 21-OCT-2017.
Resulted in 2 broken teeth on upper right side from the start and a deep cut inside lower right of lip.
1st teeth is half broken & 2nd teeth is 10% broken (x-ray report attached).
The deep cut on the lip was not sutured and it healed up on own. But lip has lump formation inside.
I got RCT done on the both teeth. But I feel that it was not done properly. I still have a tolerable pain in both teeth when I try to put pressure on them.
My 1st doctor says RCT is done and pain would vanish gradually. (Crowning or capping yet to be done). Lump in lip would vanish with time.
My 2nd doctor says RCT was not done correctly as my 1st doctor should have allowed natural healing of traumatic injuries in teeth. Then after RCT should have been performed.
My 2nd doctor also says that lip lump is due to uneventful healing as no suture was done. Thus it has be operated (cutting and removing the lump followed by suture).
I'm confused now. Please help.

The RCT treated teeth are not very nicely visible in ur opg as we require to see the periodontal lining around it.mostly due to trauma it takes time for the periodontium/surrounding bone to regain normal strength. U just avoid biting hard food .
The bump in lip is due to not suturing the lacerated wound . Mostly as it has turned into bump it is called mucocele . It ruptures on its own or if u have lot of discomfort u can get it removed surgically and tht is minor procedure nd get stirring done there.
If the bump is solid then it is due to excessive fibrosis in that area. Again it needs to be assessed and can be surgically removed
