I agree with Ben that this tooth has a bad prognosis. The loading is extremely unfavourable
(I have seen similar cases in which the distal root also fractured after a few months) en it is very difficult
to maintain proper oral hygiene for the patient (caries in the furcation is another possible threat).
What could have been done is a 3-unit bridge with # 46 as a distal abutment. Attached one of my cases on which
I did a hemisection. This is a 4 year follow-up - Marga
