Is it true that a root canal can get infected if no tooth restoration is performed?

how so ?Is it true that a root canal can get infected if no tooth restoration is performed?
A root canal treated tooth can get infected again if not the proper tooth restoration is placed after the treatment. Since a root canal treated tooth is already a weak structure (because the tooth is already dead, no blood supply), there is a tendency that the tooth will have a leak wherein saliva enters, or the worse, fracture of the tooth itself. So for the treatment to be successful, it will be much better to place a crown after, for it serves as a protection for the tooth and somehow doesn't direct the load or force to the weak tooth when we chew, thus avoiding any leak or fracture to happen.Is it true that a root canal can get infected if no tooth restoration is performed?
Certainly yes. Root canal treatment must be sealed immediately after its conclusion.


A few weeks could compromise an unrestored root canal treatment.


See you.
