How long does a root canal last without a crown?

Answered on 23rd May '24

If the tooth was extensively damaged or weakened before the treatment, it may be more prone to fracture.

Teeth located in the back of the mouth (molars and premolars) experience more chewing forces, which can put additional stress on the tooth. These teeth are more susceptible to fractures without the protection of a crown.

Certain habits like teeth grinding (bruxism) or clenching can exert excessive pressure on the teeth, increasing the risk of fractures.

So if you have root canal without crown in front teeth and good tooth structure then it may last long.

But if your root canal teeth is front and very damaged tooth structure then it will fracture any time.

Root canal teeth in back teeth requires crown immediately otherwise it won't last long

Why do i need dental x ray?

Answered on 23rd May '24

1. X-rays can reveal hidden cavities between teeth or beneath fillings, crowns. This allows dentists to identify and treat tooth decay in its early stages, preventing further damage.

2. X-rays help dentists assess the health of the jawbone and detect any signs of bone loss or deterioration. This is crucial for diagnosing conditions such as periodontal disease or detecting the presence of an infection.

3. X-rays allow dentists to evaluate the roots of teeth, check for abscesses or cysts, and assess the condition of the supporting bone structure.

4.X-rays provide dentists with essential information for planning various dental procedures.
