The crown is for protecting the tooth from further infection. However there is least chance for that tooth to get infected if ur oral hygiene is good and the treated tooth is free of any dirt/tartar accumulations. Since the infected nerves are removed during root canal treatment u can sense reinfection only wen it has gone deep into the root again. To avoid this maintain good oral hygiene.
