well most of research i did online and the numerous videos i watched about when root canal is necessary tell this as cases that when tooth endured trauma it will slowly die it may take upto 10 years in this case nothing can be done to save tooth

there maybe some experimental approach that i dont know of that may save or heal tooth do you know any?

If it helps, I bashed my face into a step when I was like 10, cracking one front tooth and traumatizing the other. Neither tooth has needed a root canal. I get the chipped one repaired every ~10 years or so. The other is discolored.

When i was a kid another kid stood up into my jaw, slamming my top and bottom teeth together in a weird way. My top two front teeth were basically split in half. They reconstructed those broken-off portions with porcelain or whatever and they’ve never needed to do anything else.
