I had an RCT done about a year back and since then having a temp. plastic material covering it. It is not a cap just some plastic to hold the tooth and to maintain the gap between the tooth. After the RCT the doctor tried to put the permanent crown but it was not a proper fit. The doctor tried to shorten the crown but in doing so the crown was damaged.
