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.
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.
