It is known as an immature tooth, that tooth that has an open apex and is discovered by an X-ray. When this happens, conventional endodontic procedures are of no value.

How is internal teeth whitening?

Sometimes a tooth darkens after a root canal, and this can be due to pulp necrosis, bleeding or remnants of the endodontic procedure. This affects aesthetics, which is why it is necessary to perform a veneer or teeth whitening.
