On the same tooth or a different tooth? Normally a crown is the recommended option for restoring the tooth you had root canal on.

Hi,
Thank you for your question. Yes, right after a root canal treatment, a filling or a tooth crown should be performed to protect and cover the opening of the canal and the remaining tooth structure. Hope this helps. Happy Holidays!
