removing the infected nerve or infected pulp and filling the duct or ducts with a paste to allow resorbtion, the root of the milk tooth will disappear in time and as the tooth moves to where it will erupt.
Benefits of Pediatric Endodontics:

- prevents the spread of infection to the final tooth.
It is not mandatory that any dental infection in a dental tooth causes permanent tooth damage, but treatment of the tooth is recommended because the infection may have consequences on the immune system
