After a root canal, placing a crown is crucial for long-term tooth protection. Removing infected pulp weakens the tooth structurally, making it prone to fractures. The crown reinforces the tooth, preventing breakage and maintaining functionality. Without a crown, the tooth’s integrity is at risk, affecting appearance and durability for biting and chewing.

It takes about 6 to 9 months and depends on the condition of the patient’s gums and mouth. Differences may occur depending on the treatment method, etc.

Flap surgery and LANAP are periodontal treatments for gum disease, differing in approach. Flap surgery involves incisions to lift gum tissue for root access, while LANAP is a minimally invasive, laser-based method selectively removing infected tissue. Both aim to halt gum disease progression, but LANAP offers quicker recovery and less discomfort. The choice depends on factors such as disease severity, patient preference, and dentist recommendation.
