Question about a short antibiotic course

Would a few days of antibiotics in endodontics not have an adverse systemic effect, such as an incomplete course and resistance?

Translated version of the Turkish original

Because we eliminate the cause with root canal treatment, this situation in other diseases does not apply. Once the acute condition resolves with root canal treatment, there is no point in continuing the antibiotic.
