Kindly get a cap /crown placed on it as it may fracture on having anything hard. Kindly brush your teeth twice daily using correct brushing technique to maintain your oral hygiene.

Yes lybrate user, root canal &cap is the treatment. Main reason for doing root canal is to get relieved from pain and save the natural teeth so that you can chew and eat for your life. Root canal done tooth is strong by brittle it may get fractured when you eat hard things or it may simply get fractured while you clench your teeth during night. So make a point that your not losing your natural teeth. Get your cap done as soon as possible. Keep smiling.

There are no side-effects, but you get the crown done asap as the tooth becomes brittle after RCT and is liable to break, so avoid eating hard food till that time.

Hi, If you don't get the crown done after Rct, there are chances of tooth fracture as tooth become brittle after Rct, specially when there is moderate amount of loss of tooth structure before and during treatment. Your dentist will suggest for the same.

Hello lybrate-user, in case of root canal treatment. Sometimes capping is mandatory. Just to restore the lost tooth structure. To maintain its proper functioning and prevent and micro fractures in tooth leading to pain and even sometimes complete fracture of tooth. So its best to restore your teeth with cap after a root canal treatment. Wish you best.
