Retraction cords are used during the preparation of a tooth to receive a crown. The gingival tissue must be pulled back from the tooth so that a good impression can be made.
Should you have your tooth pulled or filled?
Possibly a root canal. Or he could put a false half on it. Dentists NEVER "glue back on" the other half. If it is a small "chip" most likely a filling will do it. A larger break will require a filling to make the tooth "tooth shaped" again and then a crown. A root canal is only needed if the tooth had large decay causing the break or if the nerve of the tooth is damaged or exposed.

How do you treat a knocked out tooth?
Put the tooth back yourself. If it is replaced within 5 minutes it can replant itself successfully.Don't put a baby tooth back as it may damage the adult tooth bud in the socket causing deformation or tooth dilaceration.If it is an adult tooth, gently rinse the tooth with saline/milk/contact lens solution. The patient's saliva can also be used. DO NOT rinse it with water (if you really have to, just for a few seconds).Hold it by the crown. Don't touch the root or scrub it. The layer of cells on the root surface must not be disturbed.Success is best if an adult tooth is reinserted in the socket within 5 minutes.Don't reinsert a tooth if there is a chance the tooth may be inhaled, for example if the person is unconscious.The tooth may survive if it has been out up to an hour - if it can't be reinserted immediately keep it in milk.Whether or not it has been reinserted, see a dentist. The dentist may have to splint it.
What happens if you do not get a crown after root canal?
The reason why we dentist recommend for a crown to be placed in a root canal treated tooth is because the tooth tends to get fragile or more brittle after the treatment, as a lot of portion of the crown is lost during the procedure and as it cannot withstand masticatoryforce which is applied to a tooth during the process of chewing and tearing food and in case of the anterior tooth it is not esthetically acceptable also so we advise a patient to get a crown placed after a root canal treatment
Should a tooth crack after a root canal?
Roots do not grow back once a dentist drills into the tooth and removes the pulp (the roots and tissue inside the tooth). After that, it is dead and it cannot grow back. Make sure that the dentist (after he fits the crown but before it is permanently sealed) does an X-ray of the tooth to make sure the crown that was ordered properly fits the tooth. Sometimes to the human eye it appears so, but an X-ray can reveal the tiniest opening, which can lead to a re-infection and necessity of the tooth to be pulled.
