This leads to the development of a reservoir of bacteria. These start to colonize the entire area from the root to the alveolar bone, and then cause quite a serious inflammatory reaction, accompanied by pain and leading to an abscess<strong><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Les canaux sont nettoy\u00e9s selon un protocole pr\u00e9cis.
