Zirconia crown not fitting properly
Hi sir l have been using zirconia crown on my second molar after root canal and scaling but l can clearly understand that the crown is taller in height than my need and it is continuously rubbing against the upper tooth,I can't chew with the right side where the crown has been placed,not only that I am experiencing sensitivity and ocassional pain in that treated tooth,is it normal after 2 days of crown placement?
And another question is can the crown be reshaped or shaved according to my need?Is it possible to lessen it's height? Or it has to be taken out?

Some sensitivity is normal after a root canal treatment especially in molars ,could be due to inflamed surrounding tissues .it should settle over time .
But severe pain & prolonged discomfort needs addressing.
The crown can be checked for premature contact(too high) and adjusted if any,
