Ceramic cap cracked
I have done Rct. And last week it got completed.
And now today I saw that little part of the ceramic cap is broken,only 10 days have been passed of this new ceramic cap and it has broken from one side. What to do now? Whole cap should be replaced or only the broken part?
Can the broken cap remain like that only or can it cause any infection or any problems?

It doesn’t cause any infection but since it’s just been ten days so it’s best to get it replaced .
