4 Thus, the duration of root canal without crown may differ but it is usually not considered a good idea to keep the tooth cavity open for long periods. The tooth after a root canal treatment becomes more brittle and is prone to fracture. A crown offers protection to the tooth against damages over time and helps in avoiding complications or other dental procedures. Dentists usually advice for placement of a crown immediately after the root canal treatment to maintain the structural integrity of that tooth and avoid problems in future. However, individual situations may vary; thus it is important to follow your dentist’s unique advice for perfect oral health.

While a root canal removes the infected pulp and nerve, leaving the tooth without a protective crown may make it susceptible to fractures or additional decay.

If the tooth was extensively damaged or weakened before the treatment, it may be more prone to fracture.
Teeth located in the back of the mouth (molars and premolars) experience more chewing forces, which can put additional stress on the tooth. These teeth are more susceptible to fractures without the protection of a crown.
Certain habits like teeth grinding (bruxism) or clenching can exert excessive pressure on the teeth, increasing the risk of fractures.
So if you have root canal without crown in front teeth and good tooth structure then it may last long.
But if your root canal teeth is front and very damaged tooth structure then it will fracture any time.
Root canal teeth in back teeth requires crown immediately otherwise it won't last long

According to a 2004 study, the survival rate for root canal without a crown was 96% after one year, 88% after two years, and only 36% after five years.
It shows that a fill can help the tooth survive for a few years, but is likely to fail soon. When deciding between fillings and crowns, there are three major factors to consider:
- The tooth’s remaining natural structure
- The tooth’s position in the mouth
- The tooth’s function
