A cracked molar may require a root canal if the fracture extends into the pulp, where the nerves and blood vessels are located. This can lead to infection, pain, and further damage if not treated. A root canal removes the infected tissue, alleviates pain, and preserves the tooth, allowing it to function normally. If the crack is superficial and doesn’t affect the pulp, other treatments might be sufficient.
A root canal implant is not a procedure but two separate treatments—root canal therapy preserves a natural tooth by removing infected pulp, and a dental implant replaces a missing or removed tooth with an artificial tooth embedded in the jawbone. When a tooth cannot be saved using a root canal, it might be removed and replaced by a dental implant for long-term aesthetics and function. For more details, visit FMS Dental Hyderabad

The decision to pull a back tooth or get a root canal depends on the condition of the tooth. If the tooth is severely damaged or decayed beyond repair, extraction may be the best option. However, if the tooth can be saved and there is still healthy structure around it, a root canal may be preferable to preserve the tooth and maintain function. Consulting with a dentist will provide the best guidance based on individual circumstances.
Yes, an X-ray can show the status of a root canal. It can reveal the condition of the tooth, the presence of any infection, and whether the root canal treatment has been successful.
