Dear patient, it is advised to replace dental caps only when either the cap is damaged or the tooth has infection , in which case re-rct is advised. If there is no symptoms of infection or broken cap, no need for replacement.
Cost of cap can depend on your choice of material ranging from Rs. 2000 to 10000.
Next Steps
maintain good oral hygiene to avoid infections and increase the longevity of your existing prosthesis.

Hello!
Unless it's damaged u don't have to replace.
Only if it's infected you need to do RE RCT.
3500-16k depends on quality ur choosing.

No need to do RCT again......if there is no symptoms......if it's a metal ceramic crown it's better to have a check if the margins are exposed change it to a metal free cap.....

Hi,
Get a general dental check up done every 6 months to a year. It is not necessary to change a cap unless there is a problem with the cap. If the root canal treatment is fine, there is no need for a re-root canal treatment when the cap is changed..
