Crown is mandatory in RCT treated tooth as such tooth tend to become discoloured in future. Also crown protects RCT treated tooth from chipping as it becomes brittle.With modern technology your tooth RCT can b done in single sitting but final call has to be of operating dentist.

Yes. Crown is mandatory after rct is done as the root canal treatment makes the tooth brittle and hence it is mandatory to cover the tooth with a crown.
Yes , Rct is advisable for this tooth and whether it can be done in a single sitting or multiple can be adviced only after a physical examintation.
