After a root canal has been performed, the tooth will often become brittle and weak. This may lead to the tooth fracturing under normal stress. Depending on how the tooth fractures, it may not be possible to restore the tooth with a crown at that point. The tooth then will probably require extraction. Consider a crown a kind of insurance policy on the root canal.

What causes pain beneath a crown?
Several things can cause pain under a crown. First, how old is the crown. If it was just placed; it could be something simple, like the bite being high and the pressure from biting down eventually irritates the tissues and the tooth starts to throb. If it is an older crown, likely there is decay on the tooth under the crown. If the decay has traveled into the nerve, it is possible the nerve has been damaged and needs endodontic treatment. Usually, the symptoms for this are pain to hot & cold temperatures which linger.

Can root canal be done after a tooth has been capped?
Not necessarily. It depends on the extent and depth of the decay or fracture. If the decay has reached the nerve of the tooth, a root canal is indicated. If the decay has not reached the nerve, a root canal is not generally required.
