Does this report Indicate any fracture?
I have been told that I have tooth fracture on #46 and dentist told me to extract it. He couldn't see it on x-ray or cbct scan. He was guessing that could be the reason for my lower jaw pain and neck pain. I went to the Endodontist and he evaluated. No fracture found. Told me to do RCT as I have bite and cold sensitivity on that tooth. I went to Endo and had a root canal last month. It's been 45 days and I didn't do crown yet. Still the same symptoms. Dentist still feel that tooth root fracture might be the reason for my lower jaw pain exactly under ear and side of the neck pain. I went to tmj specialist and he said it's like jaw joint issues and muscle tightness. I got a cbct scan for tmj and got report for that. Does this indicate any tooth fracture? Can I get crown on it or extraction required? Please help.

You maybe clenching or grindingyour teeth which maybe causing the neck pain. See a tmj specialist to get your muscles evaluated. A soft splint would help you if this is the issue.
Cbct may not show changes in tmj if your habit is recent. No fracture is evident in this view

Meanwhile avoid hard foods. warm water compress of muscles around the ear may help.. watch out for headache as soon as you wake up
