The two pictures above is a radiograph showing a root canal that was finished and an intraoral photo of the tooth that cracked. When a tooth has had a root canal procedure completed, it is important to have a post inserted in the canal of the tooth, a core buildup and a crown placed on the tooth. Otherwise fracture of the tooth can occur.
The intraloral picture indicates not only did the tooth fracture to the gumline, it also has recurrent decay (cavity) forming.
