Hemoglobin combines with NH3 from decomposition and bacteria, and H2S produces compounds that are reddish brown or black. These substances penetrate the teeth to discolor.

Answer: According to the description, these two teeth have not been treated or treated but not satisfactory, resulting in complications of infection, forming a pus in the root of the tooth roots.
