How successful is crown on a tooth that has a crack?!
Question: How successful is crown on a tooth that has a crack!?
Hi!
I went to a endodontist & he did a rootcanal & put temporary filling!.
He told me that my tooth had a crack but he didnt think it was significant enough to pull the tooth out & that the tooth might be saved by RC & crown!.he said they'll monitor the tooth for a year & see how it goes if it cracks then he'll extract it if not then I can go my merry way!.
My question is---
1!. Is it possible to save a cracked tooth by RC & crown!?
2!.Since I'll be paying $900 for it should I take a chance on it or if it'll break anyway then not take a chance on it!?
3!.If the tooth cracks under the crown will it be detected !?
4!. HAs any1 gone thru this problem!?
Can any1 help me please!?
