DEBORAH,
THE DENTIST WOULD PROBABLY ASK WHY YOU DIDN'T HAVE A CROWN PUT ON THE TOOTH SOON AFTER YOU HAD THE ROOT CANAL, TO AVOID A TOOTH FRACTURE.
THEN DEPENDING ON WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE TOOTH HE MIGHT DECIDE TO DO SOME REPAIR, BUT MOST PROBABLY AT THIS POINT IN TIME, EXTRACTION IS THE ONLY OUTCOME.

Out with the old tooth, in with a bridge. Lots of money, been there, done that, it sucked.

Ask a hundred questions on WHY you didnt come back, then after wards , remove all of it.Or charge you a fortune, to repair it. Best off because you didnt fix it properly, have it removed.
