Hi bro, wondering if you can give some insight of my case.
2 months ago, having intense pain, visited dental clinic and doctor said my upper left second molar is cracked/broken, but unsure how deep the crack is.
Doctor proceed with drilling some (as per picture attached) and did the filling. Was told after few days to weeks, when its totally no longer pain/sensitive then can consider to proceed with crowning.
Problem is, until now (exactly 2 month) sometime I still experience sensitive on the tooth (its not pain or merely 1 out of 10 pain, good thing is the intense pain I experienced beforehand is no longer there, and as of now i'm ok with hot/cold drink as well ) which causes I have yet to proceed with the crowning procedure. Could it be due to filling is too high and causes more stress on the filled tooth ?
Any recommendation how should I proceed with this. Thanks

the picture is not very clear to begin with and its no sufficient investigation for me to be sure whats going on. 2 months ago, having intense pain, visited dental clinic and doctor said my upper left second molar is cracked/broken, but unsure how deep the crack is.

When do you experience the sensitivity when it happens?
Most likely i'd suggest for you to check with the dentist, do a vitality test on the tooth and take an xray to verify that it is totally fine before proceed with crowning.
And if its just a small crack on the surface. maybe consider just a onlay coverage over the surface to prevent the crack to progress much further.
