My crown was hammered off and reapplied but has broken off again, what caused this?

Q.
Crown on #9 was loose and dentist had to hammered it off and he recemented it on. Two weeks later The crown and post broke off at the gum line. Did the pounding cvaused the post to break? Is there any other way to get a loose crown off?
A.
When a crown is loose but doesn’t come off easily it is a difficult decision about how, when and how much pressure to apply to get the crown off. There are no set rules.
