depends on the reason the crown had to be taken off
if it was for caries the crown should be replaced
if it happened just because the pulp started hurting but with no caries involved he might be able to glue the crown with temporary glue preform the root canal and then glue it again permanently -though he will have to add a `core` to the tooth too.

Tooth is sore 2 months after root canal and crown?
A tooth can be mildly sore two months after root canal therapy, because of the stress that the tooth has undergone. If the pain is more severe, it would be good to check it with a dentist, because the crown might need more adjustments, or there might be still some infection remained from the root canal.

What is a crown build up?
A crown build up is done when a person's tooth needs a crown. Usually cause my a large filling breaking or a tooth is broken. Once a tooth is more filling then natural tooth they usually want to put a crown on it. The tooth needs to have a solid foundation in order to support a crown, therefore they have to use special material in order to build the tooth up and prepare it for a crown. Also after any root canal, the dentist will want to put a build up in as teeth become very week after a root canal.. This ensure that the tooth is strong enough to support a crown.. Hope this helps

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
Can you have a root canal on a tooth that already has a crown?
NO, The dentist will remove nearly all of the tooth and leave a little peg of tooth around the nerve. The crown will then be fitted onto the peg that is left. This means that you will have all the feeling within the crown that you would have had with your real tooth.

If a tooth was healthy a dentist injured it while prepping it for a crown necessitating a root canal do I have any recourse He refuses to admit damage demands full pmt 800?
If the dentist was prepping the tooth for a crown, the tooth was not 'healthy'. More than likely, the decay that necessitated the crown was closer to the nerve than was first realized, and when the dentist removed all the decay, the nerve was exposed and a root canal became necessary. This was NOT the fault of the dentist. The fact that the nerve was exposed during the prep is actually a good thing for the patient. It would have been worse if the crown had been seated and permanently cemented in place and then the nerve symptoms became apparent. Then the brand new crown would have had to been drilled through to perform the root canal procedure or the tooth would have to be extracted and the crown would be lost as well. As a patient, it is very easy to jump to conclusions and assume your dentist did something wrong when a complication like this arises. However, this type of unavoidable complication is fairly common. That is why your dentist is trained to manage the situation and perform the root canal as he did. Your dentist did not 'cause' you to need a root canal. He simply revealed the fact during the prep, and it sounds like he handled it appropriately. You should appreciate the professional care you received under the circumstances instead of accusing him of causing you harm. And yes, if his fee is $800 for the root canal, which actually sounds a bit low to me, you ought to pay it and be glad your dentist is competent enough to save a tooth that would certainly be lost without his skill.
