#3 -- deep caries, indirect pulp cap placed, patient has a history of clenching and grinding



I placed an indirect pulp cap and then restored with composite, charging it out as a build-up and telling patient, due to his history of severe clenching and grinding, that he will likely need a crown (and if it becomes symptomatic, RCT). Is a crown mandatory here or just recommended? What if patient did not have a history of grinding?
