Preliminary reading of radiographs will reveal obvious caries, periodontal disease, and evidence of abscess or other pathology. Any teeth to be considered for crowning should be examined on the radiograph to see if the pulps are large or receded, because their condition can alter treatment expectations. Teeth that have deep caries or thickened apices may sometimes require root canal therapy. It is better to determine any necessary endodontic treatment before inserting esthetic crowns. Performing an endodontic procedure on a newly cemented porcelain crown is not a pleasant task, especially given the possibility of lingual surface fracture. Therefore, interim treatment crowning for an extended period may be indicated before you insert the final restorations.
