Endodontics (Root Canal)
Post-RCT crown placement
Fitting a protective crown over a tooth after root canal treatment, since treated teeth become more brittle.
When this is typically needed
- Recently completed root canal treatment
- Endodontist recommendation for a protective crown
What it involves
An impression of the tooth to create a custom crown, fitted in a follow-up visit after the root canal has settled.
What to expect
A crown significantly reduces the risk of the treated tooth cracking under normal biting pressure.
