Q. Should every tooth get a post and core and a crown after root canal treatment?
Hello doctor,
Should every root canal-treated tooth get a post and core, and crown? What happens if it is not done? The tooth is upper 4 with a class-2 cavity and was restored by composite.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
No, all teeth are not post and core treated. However, we recommend a crown for all such teeth as the teeth become fragile after a root canal treatment. Post and core is done if there is an extensive loss of the crown of the tooth due to decay or fracture. In your case, post and core should be done or not, I can tell you exactly if you send me a picture of your tooth and X-ray, if available. Hope this helps. Regards.
