The thing to remember is that when one moves on a tooth caries with root canal the patient tipop persive no sensitivity or discomfort since the encragada to perceive (pulp) has been eliminated.

Another question we are our patients is that if a tooth with a crown (porcelain, metal, acrylic, etc) can get cavities. Not only can but has more possibilities than a healthy tooth.
