Why Crown After RCT?

Описание: Why Cap After RCT Is Important? | RCT Crown Explained

After Root Canal Treatment (RCT), many patients think the tooth is fully treated and no further care is needed. This is a big mistake. The most important step after RCT is placing a crown (cap) to protect the treated tooth.

During RCT, the infected pulp inside the tooth is removed, making the tooth weak, brittle, and more prone to fracture. Even though pain is relieved, the tooth loses its natural strength. Without a crown, an RCT-treated tooth can crack or break while chewing, leading to complete tooth loss.

A dental crown after root canal treatment acts like a protective helmet. It covers the entire tooth, restores its original shape and strength, and allows you to chew comfortably without fear. Crowns also prevent bacterial leakage, which can cause reinfection and failure of the root canal treatment

Why Crown Is Important After RCT:

✔️ Protects weak RCT tooth from fracture
✔️ Restores chewing efficiency
✔️ Increases lifespan of root canal treated tooth
✔️ Prevents reinfection and leakage
✔️ Maintains proper bite and alignment

Skipping a crown after RCT may save money initially, but it often results in tooth fracture, repeat treatment, or extraction, which costs much more in the long run.

There are different types of crowns such as metal crowns, PFM crowns, zirconia crowns, and ceramic crowns. Your dentist will recommend the best crown based on tooth position, bite force, and aesthetics.

👉 Remember:
Root canal saves the tooth from infection, but the crown saves the tooth for life.
