danieldemaree,
As I have explained earlier, there is no GOOD root canal tooth. Meaning... with or without symptoms or pathology ALL root canaled teeth are infected.
Fistulas are common with root canaled teeth because a fistula is a LATE symptom of a chronic infection. A fistula occurs when the area of infection has become large, deep and overwhelmed with bacteria. Re treating this tooth with another root canal or having a surgical root canal procedure called an apicoectomy will not cure the infection that lives inside of this tooth and inside the jaw bone.
The only way to attempt to cure the infection is to remove the source of the infection which is the tooth.
I hope I was able to convey my explanation well enough and the information is helpful to you.

Thank you
