Is it permissible to implant a permanent tooth made of a ceramic crown in place of a broken tooth, knowing that this tooth cannot be removed after death?
It is permissible to implant artificial teeth made of ceramic crowns, whether permanently or temporarily, and there is no harm in them remaining after death. It is not necessary to remove the artificial tooth during ablution (wudu) or ritual bathing (); it is sufficient to circulate water in the mouth for rinsing. The Permanent Committee for Issuing Fatwas has issued a permitting the treatment of damaged or defective teeth and the insertion of artificial teeth in their place, considering this to be permissible treatment and not an alteration of Allah's creation. Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen affirmed the permissibility of replacing fallen natural teeth with artificial teeth to remove the defect.
