After spending thousands of $ I was told by the endodontist there are no guarantees, but the purpose of the RC is to preserve the 2 teeth as long as possible. If I lose them I'll have to get an implant (not going to!) or some kind of bridge. I'm very careful to be gentle with the teeth! After the RC I went back to my dentist, who filled them, sort of like a cap.
In my case, the endodontist told me he could do the root canals, but they would probably not help and would be very expensive. I appreciated his honesty!
