    Putting a filling in is a waste of time. You can get it removed and put a proper crown on it. Even a temporary crown would have been better.

    rubbish statement. you have to build up a core for the crown to seat to anyway. a silver filling is what the majority of endodontists use as core build ups before sending them back to general dentists to prepare for the crown.
