Do I need a crown after my root canal treatment?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My lower front tooth broked in an accident. I visited the dentist here in my place and he suggested RCT. My first session of RCT has been done 11 days before, and the last session was two days back. I want your advice on steps after RCT.

  1. Is laser filling possible for such tooth break or crowning is the only option?
  2. Which type of crowning is most suitable for it?

Please help me.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Crowns are best after RCT. Best crowns are zirconia. They are metal free, and they have good strength than other crowns. Other than that is CADCAM crowns. They are 3D porcelain metal crowns and have good strength. They come with a warranty. Both look very good and have exact teeth color.

Filling of teeth will be done on the last day of RCT. Ask for post and core if possible. But the crown is important in everything. I wish you good health and happiness. Keep me updated with the improvements.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
