A cracked molar may require a root canal if the fracture extends into the pulp, where the nerves and blood vessels are located. This can lead to infection, pain, and further damage if not treated. A root canal removes the infected tissue, alleviates pain, and preserves the tooth, allowing it to function normally. If the crack is superficial and doesn’t affect the pulp, other treatments might be sufficient.
