“Co you need a root canal before getting a zirconia crown?”

All depends on the health of the tooth that the crown is going onto. If the tooth has a large cavity near the nerve, then most likely yes you will need to get a root canal treatment before the crown. However, if the tooth does not have any cavities that is close to the nerve, a root canal treatment may not be necessary.

If the nerve and root structure are in good condition and no lesion is evident on x-ray you should not need a root canal.

No, a root canal is not always necessary before getting a zirconia crown. The need for a root canal depends on the condition of the tooth that's being crowned. If the tooth has significant decay, an infection, or damage to the pulp (the inner part of the tooth where the nerves and blood vessels are), a root canal may be needed to remove the damaged or infected pulp before placing a crown. However, if the tooth's structure is sound and there's no pulp damage or infection, a root canal may not be necessary. Zirconia crowns can be placed on teeth that have not undergone root canal treatment, as long as the underlying tooth structure is healthy and stable. It's important to consult with your dentist or an endodontist for a proper assessment of your specific situation.

Thank you for asking the question!Under normal circumstance, the reasons that a tooth that needs to have a cap ( as in your case -a Zirconia crown } are because of the following conditions : -- (i) there is a very large existing restoration / filling, (ii) part of the coronal tooth structure was broken, (iii) a crack line on a tooth was diagnosed by your dentist. (iv) the tooth has shown some clinical sings of symptoms, such as pain, sensitivity to hot temperature, or to biting pressure, to hard crunchy food. (iv) a tooth had already had root canal treatment preformed. If your tooth has none of the above conditions / situation, then you do not need to have root canal treatment. I hope that this will help you ! God Bless !
