: ) nice thought..but denture adhesive are meant for adhesion between mucosa and denture...that doesnt work for cap to tooth adhesion..
Next Steps
visit a dentist immediate, he would clean the cap and your tooth for any remnants of old adhesive, then fix that cap again (provided your tooth structure is intact )
Health Tips
don't delay, any movement of tooth loses the fiitting of cap..
