Is an inlay or onlay the same as a crown and which is the best to protect the tooth from fracture once it has been root treated?

Inlays promote cracks while onlays protect against cracks. If you have a tooth that gives sharp pain only when occluding then you have a crack. The question is if a crown would be adequate treatment or do youalso need a root canal or has the crack become so bad that it is hopeless.Hi David, thanks for getting back to me. I did get it checked out and nothing can be found wrong with it. How can there be nothing wrong with it if there is some pain and it creaks? I also talked to the dentist about a crown to replace the inlay but the dentist didnt want to do anything to the tooth, only that if it continues to be painful he can take it out. Should I see some one else?
many thanks
