Porcelain crowns generally means there is a metal (precious or semi-precious coping or shell fabricated first), then porcelain powder is applied to the coping, shaped, condensed, and fired in an oven to produce the crown. Most often today, this has been replaced with a different type of ceramic which is milled first, then there’s or fired in an oven to create the finished crown. There is no metal substructure with this method.

A root canal is an essential treatment for overall good health. An infected tooth, root, periodical abscess, related fistula all provide an infection vector probability into the body and bloodstream. This is a transferral of oral inflammatory disease from bacteria, virus, fungi, yeast, etc., into a systemic inflammatory incident. Your immune system is bombarded 24/7 as long as the vector remains. The sooner the root canal is done or the tooth extracted, the better for your overall health. Systemic inflammatory diseases are likely caused or exacerbated from oral bacteria, virus, and fungi which make their way into the bloodstream. Multiple daily brushing and oral rinsing can decrease the oral pathogenic load in everyone.

This is a general question with a lot of unknown issues that could preclude placing a crown. Assuming there is no reason for extraction, so long as the tooth has no fracture, decay, that extends below the bone level around the tooth, the tooth can be prepared and a crown placed. If the tooth structure above the bone is too short to hold and maintain a crown, a judgment reserved for the dentist, then a ‘buildup with a restorative material" or a root canal followed with a post and core. Can be used to create a prepared structure to fabricate a crown to.
