Type your answer here..once a root canal is complete the nerve is removed. thus, no nutrients etc are able to feed to that perticular tooth. over time the tooth becomes brittle and prone to fracture thus a crown is then placed on it to prolong the "lifespan" of the tooth.

It is generally recommended to get a crown placed after a root canal because the tooth will tend to get brittle and prone to fracture over time. A crown will prevent this from happening.
