Hello lybrate-user

Why Crowning After Root Canal Treatment?

Dr. Garima Malhotra91%(292 ratings)

BDS , MDS, FICOI

Dentist•Noida

Usually, people ask why we need a crown after root canal treatment. As we removed the decayed part of tooth during the treatment, remaining tooth structure is not sufficient to bear the masticatory load and it might fracture. Moreover, root canal treated tooth don't have blood supply which makes tooth brittle hence prone to fracture. What is the use of root canal treatment when eventually you will end up breaking your tooth.
Crowns are mandatory after root canal treatment.

Root canal therapy (RCT) followed by a crown is the most common mode of treatment for severely decayed teeth. However, this is not devoid of failure. In another case, if a tooth could not be salvaged by RCT, then extraction followed by a bridge (replacing the removed tooth with support from adjacent healthy teeth) became the next best option.

In both cases, especially latter, healthy teeth are being manipulated to support the tooth being replaced. The next quest was to work without touc...more

Do not chew anything hard from that side as you may fracture your tooth. Then the only good solution is to get a dental implant.
Please get a new crown fabricated from another dentist and increase the life of your tooth.

Asked for male, 23 years old from Delhi

I had my lower right fully impacted wisdom tooth extracted in march 2023, and it has been 6 months since the extraction, and i'm still experiencing the same pain as earlier: pain in my ear, jaw, and gum, stiffness, and inflammation that increases when I lay down or sleep. I have taken so many antibiotics and painkillers after consulting my dentist but the pain is not going at all.

We need more investigations with clinical examination to decide upon treatment. You may need root canal treatment and crown. Advance procedures can be done with laser.

Asked for male, 21 years old from Jaipur

I have pericoronitis and my impacted wisdom tooth has only partially erupted (gum flap up top. My dentist reduced the height of the wisdom tooth just above it to prevent it from further injuring that gum area. He has prescribed some medicines, mouthwash and gel but I was wondering if those were necessary if it recovers normally otherwise in a few days period. The medication is as follows: 1) hydroxyl peroxide betakind mouthwash (3 times/day) 2) tab. Zero dol sp (3 times/day) 3) tab augmentin 625 (2 times/day) 4) gut ok (once a day) 5) orahelp gel (3 times/day) all of these are meant to be taken for 3 days along with mouthwash with saline water. I don't really mind some pain or a few prolonged days of healing if that means avoiding the medicine.

Dentist•Trivandrum

Hi
in many people, wisdom teeth don't break through the gum and grow out – or only part of them does. The reasons are multifactorial. This is more common in the lower jaw than it is in the upper jaw. The reason is usually that there isn't enough space for the tooth in the jaw.
Wisdom teeth are usually only removed if they cause problems, or are likely to in the future. (pain, swelling etc.) wisdom teeth that don't break through (sometimes also called “impacted” wisdom teeth) often don't ...more

Dentist•Jammu

It's completely understandable to be worried about this situation. Leaving cotton in for 5 days after a tooth extraction can increase the risk of complications, so it's important to address it right away.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Contact your dentist as soon as possible: this is the most important step. Don't try to remove the cotton yourself, as this could further irritate the extraction site. Your dentist will be able to remove it safely and assess the condition of the wound.

Pain killer should not be taken continuously for a month. It may cause serious effects to body. Have it only when there is severe pain. For temporarily relief, hold warm saline water in your mouth 3 times a day. As soo as you finish your exams, remove those teeth.
