Does getting a root canal involve getting a dental filling?

Yes: After a root canal, your tooth will at the very least need to have a filling placed to close the access hole where the root canal was done. In back teeth, a crown is also needed to ensure that the tooth will not break when the root canal is finished.

Varies: Front teeth genera;;y only need a filling if most of your tooth is intact. Back teeth should get a crown for full protection. See your dentist for what is appropriate for your situation.

Yes: After the root canal treatment is completed, a definitive filling or crown is needed to maintain the seal where the access opening was made and to protect the tooth from fracture.

Yes. Filling: Of the tooth after root canal treatment is a definitive requirement. The root canal is a root filling. The subsequent tooth filling is in the coronal or top part of the tooth and is just as important as the root canal. Without a good/sealed filling in the tooth afterwards expect problems.

Yes and...: One of the main reasons rct fails is neglect if the remaining tooth structure. Oral exposure of the rc filling under leaking/failed dental work allows bacteria to recontaminate in as little as 48hrs. If the tooth needing treatment is broken down, i simply use a "50% rule". That is, if more than half the visible tooth is broken/decayed, you need a crown to support what remains--not a filling.
