Hello.read through your query...accordingly I must say that your lucky that crack in the tooth has been detected...many situations cracks cannot be detected and patient feels pain no matter what all treatments v do...rootcanaltreatment is required(I strongly feel)in this case....and crown also required otherwise the tooth after root canal treatment may fracture...also the success of the RCT depends on the place where the fracture has occurred...so I strongly give opinion that root canal treatment is required for crack...pain that your feeling after antibiotics is due to exposure of pulp through the crack...so go ahead with the treatment...if it's a vertical fracture extraction has to be done....as it has poor prognosis...so follow your dentist go ahead with the treatment.hope your benefitted something from this reply.have a healthy day!!!
