A RCT is not a replacement of an implant. A bridge can be used to replace a tooth. But the disadvantage over an implant is that adjoining good teeth will have to be trimmed.

Your tooth will break down if you do not go for a cap. Root canal treated tooth will be brittle as they do not have a nerve supply.

When the situation occurs of pain in tooth it only means there is inflammation of the pulp. And more specifically amalgum filling or any other restoration may not help.
Pl get an xray done and if the dentist has suggested you an rct it is suggested you go through it.
Pain may subside on taking other remedy but it is obvious that infection inside will definitely increase.
So why wait.

Dear Lybrate user,
take cap after completion of the RCT. Cap provides a long life to your RCT. Without cap RCT treated tooth may be easily fractured.
