Crown w Root Canal: Crown placement after endodontic treatment is usually very important for posterior teeth (molars and premolars). After the root canal, the tooth becomes more brittle w time and fractures can occur. Front (anterior) teeth can sometimes avoid crowns; depends on the situation. For all teeth, the amount of tooth structure damaged and missing is an important factor for the need for crown coverage.
