Sample input
Clinical findings: A heavily restored lower molar has a fractured cusp, biting sensitivity, and no visible periapical change. Crack depth remains uncertain. Patient goals: "I want to keep the tooth if it makes sense, but I don't want to keep paying for procedures that may fail." Viable options: Crown after removal of the old restoration and restorability assessment; endodontic evaluation before definitive restoration; short monitored deferral if symptoms remain stable; extraction only if the tooth is found nonrestorable. Tradeoffs: Crown preserves the tooth but can't guarantee the pulp will remain healthy. Endodontic evaluation adds time and cost. Deferral risks further fracture. Extraction is irreversible and would create a separate replacement decision. Costs: Crown estimate is $1,450 before benefits. Endodontic services are separate. Coverage and financing approval aren't guaranteed. Timing: Crown requires two visits. Consultation is available next week. Worsening pain, swelling, or fracture needs prompt reassessment. Concerns: Fear of paying for both a crown and root canal. Decision status: Considering options
