Can every tooth be crowned?

Posterior root filled teeth are often crowned due to their increased susceptibility for catastrophic fracture. Loss of tooth structure and increased brittleness of the tooth often results in cuspal fracture with the fulcrum line at the base of the pulp chamber often resulting in an unrestorable defect.
But can every root filled tooth be/should be crowned?

It is important to case select before rushing in to add a crown to a patient's mouth. Minimal tooth structure may require a post and core before crowning. Short clinical crowns (as I have discovered) will pose difficulties for crown preparation. Once the occlusal reduction has occurred for the chosen material, the height of the residual prep may not be sufficient for retention.

ALWAYS look at the dimensions and remaining tooth structure before proceeding to crown teeth
