Can root canal be done with out ruining the post for the bridge

Q. The capped tooth which serves as the post for the bridge needs a root canal. Can this be safely done without ruining/cracking the (procelain) bridge itself? What’s the percentage of the bridge being ruined?

A. This varies on the position of the bridge and the tooth undrrneath. Sometimes it is possible to make just a small hole without much damage, other times the bridge will need taking off completely.
