Can a devitalized tooth become decayed or broken?

Once devitalized, the tooth loses sensitivity and becomes more fragile: it is therefore possible that with chewing it may fracture or break and in some cases it is necessary to extract it.
Precisely to prevent a devitalized tooth from breaking, it is necessary to protect it with an onlay or a crown that allows it to last longer over time.
