does anyone know if you automatically have to crown a route canal, or does it depend on the situation?

Answer 1

If the tooth is a posterior tooth such as a molar or premolar it will absolutely need a crown. When you take the nerve out of the tooth, it loses its blood supply and then can become brittle. Think of a dead tree branch. The force placed on your posterior teeth is very great and the chances of you breaking that brittle tooth are much greater. If the root canal is in a front tooth, some dentists say you might not need a crown. I'm not as convinced about that method though. A dead tooth turns dark, I've had one in the front. You may be able to get a veneer for a front tooth, but I feel a crown would be a stronger restoration. If you spent the money saving the tooth with a root canal, why risk a fracture to that tooth that may cause you to have to have the tooth extracted?

Answer 2

do no longer difficulty. you have already had a root canal therapy so there is not any nerve left in that teeth - so it is going to no longer harm. you may locate it slightly uncomfortable on the gums while they retract the gums with a string around the teeth. They try this so as that they might get a suitable impression of the teeth so as that the crown will bypass below the gumline. they might numb you up first besides. there will be a pair categories of impressions and that they are going to could report around the exterior of the teeth to make it smaller (the crown fits over like a thimble and you do no longer prefer it extensive so as that they make the teeth slightly smaller so the traditional sized crown will in good shape on marvelous). as quickly as each and every little thing is prepped, they are going to placed on a momentary crown to hold you over until the porcelain one is made. It won't journey and would no longer be the right length or shape and you will could be careful with it so it would not come off. do no longer difficulty. The everlasting crown will look as though a teeth and the colour will journey your different teeth.

Answer 3

it definatly depends on the situation, with me they fixed the route canal without crowning it but eventually it did have to be crowned

Answer 4

Your four front teeth [incisors] don't need crowns unless they are weakened from cavities and have large restorations. The eye tooth [cuspid] can go either way depending on your bite. Molars and bicuspids pretty much need crowns no matter what due to the biting forces exerted on them.

Answer 5

yup, it depends. I had a root canal, no crown.

Answer 6

YES, UNLESS YOU WANT TO RISK THIS TOOTH BREAKING WHICH IT WILL. IT NEVER DEPENDS ON A SITUATION.
