Things to remember in your root canal treatment plan

Totally avoid biting from the root canal treatment (done) side; as it increases the possibility of a fracture.

Make sure to go for the outer covering of the tooth after couple of weeks of the R.C.T (at this stage since you don't have any pain or complication most probably you might neglect to go for a check up) - This step is very important if you miss this you might end up with a complication; eg; fracture of the crown part of the tooth, dislodgement of the GP points of the R.C.T)
If the Dental Surgeon advises to have a fabricated crown do not be reluctant to do so.

Since the cost of the crown is a bit high if you are unable to do so make sure to avoid biting hard substances from the particular side.

If you front tooth has undergone R.C.T make sure not to do any forceful biting. (eg: bottle opening, hard food breaking like frozen chocolates)
After many years of R.C.T you will totally forget about your R.C.T done tooth. Suddenly you might feel a part of the tooth/filling has fractured, but without pain. Make sure to go for a check up and get it attended by your Dental Surgeon. If not, you will end up with a complicaton which will lead to an extraction.

What happens to the crown part once you undergo R.C.T ?

A badly decayed tooth is cleaned very deeply when R.C.T is done. The Dental surgeon will place a good lining on top of the root filling and fill the balance part of the tooth with a filling material. Most probably you can see your tooth back to normal in shape. But while doing proper cleaning of the inner tissues the remaining enamel part of the tooth will become unsupported - without your knowledge you will bite something hard which lead to a fracture of the (crown) unsupported enamel part.

To avoid this complication what must we do ?

After completion of the R.C.T the outer covering should be strength ened by a "crown"
This crown could be in varios types.
Metal porcelain crown, Semi precious metal crown, precious metal crown, Ceramage crown.
Depending on your choice you can go for a crown. Anyway if it is a jaw tooth you can't go for a crown done in ceramage.

Fracture of the tooth after root canal treatment/nerve filling -why?

Why did you undergo root canal treatment?

As I explained in a previous issue we can preserve a glossly carious painful tooth with a root canal treatment. Once the R.C.T is completed you are very comfortable no pain, no food packing, no one side biting and you are back to normal.
