The dark area around the entire root of the tooth above indicates the presence of a large infection.

Conventional root canal treatment was performed and this is an x-ray of the tooth about six months later.  You can see the dark infected area has disappeared and has been replaced by healthy bone structure.  The prognosis for this tooth is excellent.
