Not root canal, my tooth is loose, which can move left and right over 60 degree, it seems no bond support the tooth at the bottom. As long as it does not drop out by itself, at this moment, I keep it in place.

Do you have any suggestions on how to handle tooth socket after tooth is extracted?
Thank you very much for any suggestions :>

There aren't any side effects if you leave it empty.

Implants are aesthetically great. If you could afford it, excellent.

Consultant said, if I leave tooth socket empty, which locate at the end of upper side, front teeth would move backward a little bit, because there is missing tooth at the end.

I would like to know the supporting bond condition, if tooth is loose, which can move left and right 60 degree, what is attached to this tooth at this moment? only mucle?

Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks, to everyone very much for any suggestions :>

You might see some separation over a long period of time, yes, but it'll be so minor you probably won't notice it.

Root fibers connect the root and bone, holding the tooth in place. Most grown-ups lose their teeth as a result of infection of the gums or cavities. This is different than in children.

It seems that root fibers are gone between tooth and bone, would it be correct?
so what is holding my tooth in socket now? muscle only? would it be easily pull out?

Do you have any suggestions?

The fiber I'm referring to is called the periodontal ligament. I'm not sure what happens to it exactly, but the fact it's a ligament (collagen-based) is probably the reason why you can stretch it 60 degrees as you mentioned. It'd also assume that nerves are attached to it, hence the pain.

Periodontal_fiber

Referring to following image, what wrong is the periodontal fiber? how to heal it in order to hold the teeth firmly again? and I don't need to extract the teeth. At this moment, I don't feel pain on gum and teeth at this stage.

Do you have any suggestions?

I don't think collagen (the fibrous protein) can be repaired, so it's impossible to reverve the process.

Referring to following image, I would like to know on which part is collagen. Furthermore, alveolar bone seems reduce a lot when I touch and massage the gum.

I'm not entirely sure. The alveolar bone isn't the primary structure responsible for holding your tooth in place. Unless there is bone loss, known as severe periodontitis
