Message: [QUOTE="Busybee, post: 122162, member: 7123"] I had root treatment done on teeth through a crown many years ago. They didn't fully settle until I had the crowns replaced. It seems to me that you can have microscopic leakage of bacteria which continue to feed the infection, although it's too localised to see anything on x ray and the infection doesn't blow up, the symptoms persist. I'm sure there's plenty of science behind it but I reckon sealing the area helps it all settle. These days they don't put on a crown because of the expense if it fails. The symptoms I had were not as painful as the original infection but I was constantly aware of them. A back molar I was referred to an endo for earlier this year has completely settled since being crowned and I didn't need any RCT. The crown is very well fitted. I ended up changing dentist and going to a specialist. Before that I thought I'd lose it, I was in so much pain with a temp crown. [/QUOTE]
