How soon after the root canal treatment should I have a new crown placed?
In the majority of cases, the tooth should be permanently restored with a crown or filling as soon as possible. Delaying this can allow the inside of the tooth to become recontaminated.
The permanent crown or filling is as important to the prognosis of the tooth as the root filling.
In some cases with a questionable prognosis, the provision of a crown may need to be delayed.
