My upper jaw one premolar tooth got vertically fractured due to an accidental bite on a chicken bone, one month back. That vertical fracture had left my tooth with one half mobile and the other half fixed. I visited dentist and removed the mobile part alone. The other half is still there. While removing the mobile part, the root of the mobile part also came, leaving unable to do root canal. My Dentist suggested me to do implant. Till this day I haven't done implant. Is there any problem in keeping the fixed part permanently and not doing implant? I have no problem till now keeping it, as it is not causing any pain or disturbance.

No problem, but as days go on the space will be closed by molardrifting so space has to be maintained.

Even though the tooth in question is not bothering you as of now but still it's got no functional use & will be acting like a source of fresh infection since the nerve is always exposed. Have a long term vision. Before pus starts accumulating, check out for a reputed experienced dentist who can do Implant replacement for you at the earliest. Good luck!

You can keep it as long as you want, but it will not do any good to you as broken half can not assist you in proper chewing. On the bright side, it will maintain the teeth integrity.

Better remove the remaining part and go for implant. if not now then do FPD (fixed partial denture) at least as it may lead to harm for you. Better to visit nearest dentist who see the exact condition and guide properly.

It's potentially a problem generator till it doesn't give any problem you may keep but problem can start any time what your Dr. suggested was correct.

Dental implants are mainly used to replace a single missing tooth, which, in most cases, is a premolar or a molar tooth. Tooth decay, failed root canal treatment and cracking are some of the reasons that a tooth may be extracted. Front teeth, or incisors, are lost less frequently than molars. The primary molars are replaced by permanent premolars (also called bicuspids) and the permanent molars come in behind the primary teeth. Consult a dentist for more information. Take care.
