Not having seen the tooth, I cannot be specific. I would say I doubt it is
worth the effort, unless you have a large dental arch, the wisdom tooth has
a good tooth to chew against, and the tooth is otherwise in FANTASTIC shape.

Hi,

Just wondering if anybody else went through this and what the results
were.

I cracked a wisdom tooth - no idea how. Just started becoming
sensative to hot/cold and pressure. My dentist (who is very good) gave
me my options. I decided I would keep the tooth and get it capped.
While I wore the temporary cap I noticed I was still sensative to
pressure (not cold or hot though). My dentist temporarily glued the
permanent cap just to see if the pain would subside. It didn't.

The sensativity is very specific - i can press lightly (with my finger)
on all four corners of the tooth and only one corner brings on the
pain. It never bothers me without pressure and is uneffected by cold
and hot.

Is it possible for one root to need "canaling"? Or is it possible the
tooth is still cracked in one area?

Thanks
