once the root canal is done, we want to rebuildthe crown portion. for the most part, after the root canal, the crown portion of the toothstructure is basically damaged or is gone due to some form of cavity or trimmed awayto access the chamber of the canal. to do the crown, we need to do a build up or a postbecause we need to rebuild the inner structure of the tooth. once that build up or post isreplaced, we put a crown over that tooth. the crown can be metal, porcelain, anythingto cover the top portion of the tooth to allow function to come back again. it's importantthat the crown follows the same anatomy structure and the seal around the tooth has to be niceand clean. if it is not, there will be an opening and saliva will bring bacteria underneaththe crown and you can get recurrent decay
or cavity. then, the same process will occuragain. now, you don't have the warning that you have a cavity inside your mouth. oncethe root canal is done, if you have a cavity underneath the crown, you can't really feelanything until it is too late. it will break down the remaining tooth structure and onceyou start to feel something, you will have to replace it. anything below the gum line,the integrity of the tooth will be compromised and have to be removed.
