Why Are Dental Crowns Recommended After A Root Canal?

A root canal treatment is conducted when the pulp chamber in the roots of teeth gets infected or damaged. The pulp chamber contains nerves and blood vessels which can get infected. Once infected it needs to be removed so that it does not cause further damage. Through an RCT the infected pulp is removed by the dentist and filled with unique artificial dental material that is supposed to stay for a long period of time. This artificial filling will stay there for a long period of time if it is properly covered. Here is when crowns are required to provide that extra strength to the teeth structure.

What is the purpose of a crown in RCT?


A broken, damaged or weak tooth needs to undergo surgery. A crown, also known as a tooth cap acts as a shield to protect the weak tooth from falling off or having further damage. The thumb rule in an RCT is to place a crown over the tooth that underwent RCT.

Generally, a Root Canal gets completed within 2 sittings. After the pulp chamber is cleaned and filled, in the final sitting the crown or cap is placed on the tooth. The doctor will do an X-Ray to get the exact shape of your teeth structure. Crowns are customized according to the patient's teeth structure.

What are the benefits of a crown or cap?


  • As they are made up of strong metals like zirconia, porcelain or ceramic, they tend to stay for a long period of time. They provide strength to the weak tooth and prevent further damage.
  • Gaps left between the teeth get filled by the help of customized crowns.
  • They help to improve teeth appearance.
  • Provides natural look as they are customized to match the colour and shape of your actual teeth.
