If there are no symptoms of pain or any discomfort then you can immediately get the crown done.

Re-RCT is required if the earlier RCT is not proper. And crown can be placed soon after the RCT is completed otherwise the tooth can fracture.
Next Steps
visit to a dentist and get an xray done

hello sir ,re rct is done if your previous rct is not successful.exact condition can be seen only after seeing the x ray of your tooth. moreover a crown is placed when the tooth becomes asymptomatic means it is ready to take chewing forces.

Hi,it is advisable to get re rct done if previous treatment not done up to the mark or you have issues regarding it. Best judged by  experienced dentist. After re rct. It will be better to go for crowns only when you are free of any symptoms post your re rct. Take care.

If there is inadequacy of RCT filling, then the dentist would opt to do re RCT before final crown placement. After how long after RCT should the crown be placed would entirely depend on tooth involved and it's a call which the dentist treating will have to take. Without even seeing an X-ray it would be very difficult to comment.

Hello Sir Greetings of the day. If there is no discomfort in the tooth and no infection is seen in the x-ray you can go for a crown immediately. But without a x-ray the situation cannot be judged.

Hi,Please get a x ray done to evaluate the need for repeat RCT.Also it is very important to put cap as early as possible after root canal & not to wait as there are chances that tooth may break if cap is not put.
