A member asked:
Had abcess from bottom up spread to bone & up roots on either side. had main one extracted & root cnals . but 1 was never finished(crown)can it spread?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Source of Infection : If the root canal tooth was not completed with a crown then it is likely that leakage from the oral cavity will contaminate the root canal filling material. This could lead to an infection despite the root canal being completed.
