Get a filling!: Get a core build up done first, and then plan to have the crown done in a few months or a year. The rct needs to be sealed within a month after it is completed. The crown is needed in order to provide coverage and protect the tooth from potentially fracturing.

Save money: Until you can afford it. After the root canal on a molar a crown is usually very important to protect the tooth and your investment in the root canal procedure to save the tooth.

Restoration: Although the crown reinforces the tooth after a root canal and recommended. You can also do a filling instead of a crown or at least until you can do a crown. Risk is that the tooth can fracture because a tooth is weakened after a root canal. A crown helps with strength.
