1 month back I’d gone for RCT and unfortunately vertical crack happened on the tooth. How long i can let it be without removal? The tooth is brittle now and small ditch is present because of the RCT.

If the tooth is cracked you should remove it as it cannot be saved. It is not an emergency but it is advisable to do the extraction as soon as possible as infection will remain chronic and can also cause a cyst to form later
