How To Adjust Copper Crown After Root Canal?

I had root canal treatment 8 years back, since then i changed 2 porcelain crowns due to crown breakage but never had pain in porcelain crowns. About 7 months back I switched from Porcelain to copper crown. Every thing was fine since then except a little adjustment problem but now for 2 days I have a severe pressure pain and cant eat anything from that side,

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain could be because of the high points over the crown that results in abnormal force over the tooth resulting in pain. The other possible cause could be because of the gum infection. Consult a endodontist or prosthodontist and get the tooth checked, if the high points are there then get it corrected or relieved. If gum infection is there then get the teeth cleaned along with a course of antibiotics.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query, as you have pain after crown placement it can be due to periodontal problem may be there is food lodgement in cervical region of crown result in pocket formation or due to improper fitting of crown on prepared tooth.
For this you should consult your dentist and your dentist will examine your crown , in meantime do warm saline rinses give you temporary relief.

Hope it will help you.
Wishing you good health.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka tiwari
