I did root canal on lower right grinding teeth and 3rd step over, doctor said root canal procedure is completed after putting artificial roots and put a temporary white paste and revisit after 1 week to take impression of teeth for crown. After chewing soft food on that side after 3 days, tooth chipped of, loosing 75% structure of tooth upto gum line but base is ok I think leaving only the temporary paste which they used to cover the tooth hole. Will new crown can placed or that tooth fully need to be removed? I am worried.

If you not get crown than teeth will become decay completely. So cap is necessary. But it depends on condition of teeth

If tooth build up is possible then we build up tooth and go for new crown if build up is not possible then remove tooth and go for bridge after completely healing of extraction site otherwise we can do implant also.
