Surprised that the crowns broke in just 2 years of service . Good crowns should last at least 12 to 15 years . Anyways what you should do is cut the crowns with an experienced dentist and remove them easily . Then recheck the possition of the root canal treatment and repeat the crowns ..
Next Steps
cut and remove crowns without touching teeth .
Health Tips

The broken crowns where food gets stuck can be removed by cutting it with special instruments by a dentist without damaging your inner tooth structure. Once the old broken crowns are removed new crowns of better quality and durability can be made by taking new impression.
Next Steps
Time being avoid food from getting stuck there by cleaning it with a floss.

Meet a good dentist at the earliest. Go for 15yrs warranty Zirconia crowns.

Crown fracture usually doesn't happen in 2 years. But at the same time it depends on many factors and varies from case to case. There r cases which had happened, but rare.
You can cut the crown and get it removed by a dentist and then take x-ray,before taking call on further treatment.
