@mib. I just want to make sure I’m understanding your situation. You have a bridge with one of the teeth under a crown where there have been some changes to the tooth. Was this the root area seen on a dental X-ray?

You mentioned that there is some resorption of the tooth. Resorption is a process where the body breaks down and absorbs the structure of a tooth. may be influenced by number of factors such as inflammation or possibly medications.

Have you talked to your hematologist and your dentist about the possible link with hydroxy? What has your dentist suggested regarding the bridge?
