Is a crown really necessary after a root canal treatment?
A root canal treatment is done by removing the infected pulp regions of the tooth, cleaning, disinfecting it and finally sealing of the tooth. To gain access to the pulp region the outer healthy portion of the tooth is flipped open. This makes the entire structure of the tooth weakened and prone to fracture if too much stress is applied to it. Mostly crowns are required when root canal treatment is done for the molar and premolar teeth. Very rarely crowns are avoided when the structural integrity of the tooth is not lost. Conclusion – Dr. Sravanthi, a dentist in Chennai, who has done many root canal procedures is of the opinion that the decision to place a crown depends on the tooth structure after the procedure is performed. Whether or not crowns are placed, Dr Sravanthi strongly bats for proper oral hygiene to keep away tooth decay.
