The benefits of root canal treatment are elimination of tooth inflammation, resolution of tooth pain and maintenance of oral health. The downside is that the tooth loses its pulpal blood supply and is at risk of splitting when chewing if not restored with a crown.
1.Benefits. When the pulp of the tooth is in a state of irreducible inflammation, there will be severe tooth pain, seriously affecting the life and work, root canal treatment can remove the inflammation of the pulp to solve the pain, and protect the oral dental health.
2.Bad. After root canal treatment due to the loss of blood supply to the tooth, the resistance to fracture is not as good as before, when chewing too hard food, there may be a risk of tooth splitting, so it is recommended to do crown restoration after root canal treatment.
For teeth that must undergo root canal treatment, it is recommended that crowns be done as early as possible to avoid splitting of the tooth.
