I have recently had my lower right first molar prepared for a crown.
It's been four weeks and the temporary is to be replaced with a
permanent one later this week.
Before the temporary crown was placed, this tooth was asymptomatic.
Since then it's been running the gamut of possible symptoms but
nothing that's consistent and well defined. Sometimes there's cold or
hot sensitivity- sometimes there's not. Two nights I have woken up
with a soreness in the area but at other times it's fine. To make
things more complicated the premolar next to it also had a composite
placed and the opposing molar on top has a deep filling with
occasional discomfort.
With this mess I went to an endodontist to run some tests and xrays
but the results also were not conclusive. Now I am wondering what I
should do. Put the permanent crown on only to find it needs RCT two
months down the road ? Use a temporary bond for the permanent crown -
would that make any difference ? Have the RCT done just in case ?
