Dear sir recently I got rct of 3rd molar and I have to get it capped. I have heard that rct is not safe in long run and there may be infection due to rct treated teeth since 100 per cent bacteria is not removed while rct which leads to heart attack and poor immune system, sir is this true? Should I get my third molar pulled out or get it capped?
