A root canal treatment is a dental procedure to save a severely infected tooth from further damage. During this procedure, the tooth’s infected portion, which is the pulp, is removed with the help of files, and later, it is replaced with medicaments and cement to save it from getting infected again. In this process, we lose the tooth structure we see in our oral cavity. Hence, to regain that structure and make a tooth perform its function again, we have to place a crown after root canal treatment. In the information provided below, we will briefly discuss the importance of crown after a root canal- brought to you by Bangalore Dental Specialists HSR Layout Bangalore

This crown is made of various materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metals such as gold, which provides strength to handle the forces during biting or chewing the food
