Pain following a root canal treatment (RCT) and crown placement can be concerning, but it doesn't necessarily mean an RCT failure. There can be several reasons for the pain you're experiencing, some of which are not related to RCT failure: Normal Post-Treatment Discomfort: It's common to experience some discomfort for a short period after a root canal and crown placement. This can be due to inflammation of the surrounding tissues or the adjustment period of the tooth. Occlusal Issues: Bite problems, also known as occlusal issues, can cause pain when biting down. If your crown or teeth are not aligned properly, it can result in uneven pressure distribution during biting, leading to pain. Temporary Irritation: Sometimes, the tissues around the tooth can become irritated during the treatment process. This can lead to temporary discomfort that usually subsides on its own. Adjacent Teeth Issues: Pain from adjacent teeth can sometimes be referred to the treated tooth, making it seem like the RCT has failed. Fracture: While uncommon, a tooth can develop fractures that can cause pain, even after an RCT. This might be more likely if your tooth was significantly compromised before the RCT. Re-Infection: Although rare, re-infection can occur if bacteria manage to enter the treated tooth again. This is more likely to happen if the seal isn't properly intact. Sinus Issues: Pain in upper back teeth can sometimes be related to sinus problems, as the roots of these teeth can be close to the sinus cavity. Since the pain has started recently and you didn't have pain for the first two weeks after the RCT, it's a good idea to contact your dentist or endodontist. They will examine your tooth, take X-rays if necessary, and determine the cause of the pain. If there's a concern about the RCT or any other issue, they will be able to recommend the appropriate course of action. It's important not to ignore persistent or worsening pain, as early intervention can help prevent potential complications.

please provide a x-ray of the RC treated tooth. It is less likely to have pain due a high point after that long of crown placement. If it was due to a high point you would know it immediately. Your RCT needs evaluation.

Visit a local dentist for physical evaluation and treatment (as required). Pain can be because of high point or problem with RCT.
