I am going to have a metal biting surface on my bottom molar, will this be affected by my teeth grinding during the night?
Q.
I was at the dentist today, I had a tooth that was severely affected by internal resorbtion (sp?)… and the tooth was completely hollow on the inside so I had to have it extracted. My dentist told me before he got my temporary bridge back from the lab or whoever and said that my back molars( I had number 14 extracted) are too short for them to put porcelain on the botton of the tooth so the bottom will be metal. I have never heard of this and I was wondering is this common and i was quite qorried cause i sometimes wake up and felt sore from teeth grinding at night…

A.
Metal biting surfaces will be better for tooth grinders and should be more durable in the long-term on a bridge or a crown
