You won't find these images pretty much anywhere else on the internet. The first one I found in a very expensive and rare book written in 1940 called death and dentistry. The second I found randomly on reddit one day. It is a tooth root under a high powered CT scanner. You can see the complexity of the root system.
What does this mean? When a tooth dies they are supposed to remove all the dead tissue, disinfect it and and seal it up. Well due to the complexity of the root system removal of all the necrotic and dead material is basically impossible, as is filling and sealing the end of the tooth properly. But further than that, anaerobic bacteria will grow and thrive in the dentin tubules. It basically means a tooth turns into a toxic waste factory.
