Zirconia crown not fitting properly

2025-08-23 09:01:31
Hi sir l have been using zirconia crown on my second molar after root canal and scaling but l can clearly understand that the crown is taller in height than my need and it is continuously rubbing against the upper tooth,I can't chew with the right side where the crown has been placed,not only that I am experiencing sensitivity and ocassional pain in that treated tooth,is it normal after 2 days of crown placement? And another question is can the crown be reshaped or shaved according to my need?Is it possible to lessen it's height? Or it has to be taken out?

It is normal to have sensitivity after root canal , so don’t need to worry about. But if there is too much pain then it should have to be checked… For the crown please visit your dentist where you placed the crown and check for high points and get it trimmed ….
