Is root canal treatment necessary for crown placement?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I am here to answer your queries.

First, you go for root canal treatment and cap (crown) for your broken teeth, and then go for orthodontic wires, and brackets (braces) for your teeth as the alignment of your teeth is not proper. So to align them properly, you need to go for braces as it will enhance your oral hygiene and also your smile.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Glad to have you back.

Determining whether removal of the tooth for orthodontic treatment is required or not can only be confirmed after visualizing the posterior teeth, OPG (orthopantomogram), and lateral cephalography. So, for confirming this, you have to show your posterior teeth occlusion, OPG, and lateral cephalogram.

Root canal treatment might be necessary as your tooth is broken and due to this, the pulp might get exposed, and the tooth might get infected. This can also be ruled out after taking an X-ray of the affected tooth. If you are having pain in that tooth, then you have to go for RCT (root canal treatment) but if there is no pain, then an X-ray can only determine the treatment plan.

A crown is not always required for every tooth. RCT is required only if the tooth is broken, infected, attrited, abraded, etc. If the tooth is intact and for some reason a crown has to be given, then there is no need for RCT.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
