Potential chip to root canalled tooth

[kaydawg]

First molar was removed and second premolar was root canalled in 2021. The gum around it has recently become sore, red and swollen, and upon further inspection, the premolar looks a little chipped. Its always had an uneven edge since the root canal but I don't remember if it looked chipped. I've attached two photos; the tooth today, and an x-ray from 7 months ago (I don't know if I'm seeing things but the surface does look uneven on the x-ray?) There's no pain but there's no obviously no nerve in the tooth.

Looks OK. In the long term, I wouldn't be surprised if the filling on the premolar chipped a bit because it will be taking more pressure now that the molar was removed. It is usually best to plan for an onlay or crown for root-filled back teeth.
