Fractured tooth

This patient has a tooth that required a crown.  The crown was not done and a filling was placed instead. 

The tooth fractured subsequently, to below the gum lines, so she required gum surgery in addition to the crown to repair the tooth. 

Moreover, a crown is like a cap.  It sits on top of the tooth.  The less tooth there is below the crown, the weaker it is, so it will not last as long or be as strong as a tooth that had a crown done before the tooth fractured.
