After root canal treatment without a crown, the service life of the tooth varies greatly among individuals, and there is no specific number of years, this is due to the hardness of each person’s teeth, dietary habits, and the degree of protection are not the same.
1. Tooth hardness: If the tooth itself is relatively strong, then after root canal treatment is relatively not easy to split, their own teeth can be used for a relatively long period of time.
2. Dietary habits: usually like to eat nuts, potpourri, steamed buns and other hard food, then the possibility of tooth splitting will increase, the life of the tooth will be correspondingly shorter. But usually like to eat noodles, rice, steamed bread and other softer food, chewing efficiency is poor patients, the damage to the teeth is relatively small, the life of the teeth is relatively long.
3. Degree of protection: Root canal treatment requires the extraction of the pulp, and after the tooth loses the nutrition of nerves and blood vessels, the hard tissue will gradually become brittle. If you protect the tooth reasonably, pay attention to oral cleaning, and do not use the affected tooth to chew food, you can also extend the service life of the tooth.
It is recommended to wear crowns as much as possible after root canal treatment, so as not to cause the tooth to fall off, split and so on, and once there is any discomfort to consult a doctor in time to deal with it.
