Experts from 32 dental chains in Wuhu pointed out that after root canal treatment, teeth need to be repaired. There are generally two methods for tooth restoration: one is to directly fill the tooth defect with filling materials; The other is to cover the teeth with braces to protect them.

Direct tooth filling is simple and convenient, with few follow-up visits and low cost, but it is not lasting and there is a danger of tooth fracture. After general root canal treatment, doctors will advise patients to do braces to protect their teeth. Although the number of follow-up visits is more and the cost is higher, it can protect the remaining tooth tissue, prevent tooth splitting and restore the normal chewing function of teeth.

Making braces in time after root canal treatment has a more important function, which is to prevent bacteria from entering the treated pulp cavity and root canal from the tiny gap between the filling material and the tooth tissue, causing inflammation and leading to treatment failure. Making braces can form a good seal and effectively ensure the long-term effect of root canal treatment. Therefore, it is a better treatment scheme to put braces on teeth after root canal treatment.
