What are root canal and full crown?!


Question: "Root canal treatment" means to remove the contents of the root canal, usually for the purpose of relieving pain or removing infection. A crown is a restoration that wraps the tooth, providing strength to the tooth. This is often necessary following a root canal, because often the root canal treatment greatly weakens the tooth. Crowns can be made of a number of different materials. I generally prefer PFM (porcelain fused to metal) crowns for my patients for their esthetics and durability. Take care.
