Minimum of 3-5 days.
Eat soft food from the treated tooth side just to check if you are free from symptoms or not.
Once there is no pain you can move ahead with cap

Hi,
The interval between root canal sittings depends on the infection in the tooth. Permanent crown preparation can be started on the same day of root canal treatment completion. It is better to wait for 3 to 4 days before starting the measurements to avoid any pain during the procedure.

Normally 3-5 days gap between two sittings(depends on multiple factors).
You can go for permanent crown immediately after RCT.(no waiting period required usually).
