Dental crown replace after apicecotomy
How soon after apicecotomy dental crowns can be replaced. I have caps on the front teeth 11,12,21,22 since 15 years. I got apicecotomy done on teeth 11,12 last month and now doctor has asked to replace dental cap. Will it be safe to get crown replaced after 1 month of apicecotomy?

Apicectomy and crown doesn't have any direct relation actually. If your crown is in a bad condition like any breakage or any colour loss then only you actually need replacement. Otherwise you may continue with your present crown.
