may be your dentist should have anaysed your oral health and see if there were some complications with that. forget about what happened. now you need is a specialist, a dentist who could really do you good. i have been through similar situation and i can understand how painful it is.

oops also the dentist is not responsible for a tooth fracture.
i also had a fractured tooth(my root had plit).it got worse after the root canal and had to pull it.you mite want to check on a implant.when your teeth are week alot of times the root canal wont lat long exspecialy a back tooth .i wasted a lot of money.also a regular dentist office should not do a back mollar.you need an endodonist.you have an extra canal that a regular dentist cant clean. sue
yes. since there is a certain uncertainty when it comes to medical procedures there is always a risk. fractures happen. most of the time it isnt anyones fault. the tooth is weak and its possible the tooth was already fractured since they dont show on xrays very often and the work just made it larger. even if the dentist is at fault you would have to prove it which is almost impossible. i have a fractured tooth that had a root canal and crown and still failed so even the additional work is not a sure fix.
