Ma'am reasons for tooth ache in already RCT treated tooth are:- 1- Re-infection. 2- RCT not done properly. 3- Tooth decay had started. 4- Food getting lodged under the crown. If you are having crown with a metal layer under it can give a black appearance near the gum margins. Secondarily if you have not got the crown after RCT then the tooth becomes black due to the following reasons:- 1- Dentist did not remove all the tissues while doing RCT and left bacteria inside the tooth which discoloured the tooth. 2- If the tooth sustained a blow and the tooth died before the RCT
