For general information.... Root canals and apicoectomies do not make a sick or painful tooth well again irrelevant of how well they are performed. It doesn't make any difference on the skill of the dentist or how many times the procedure is done ..... there is no cure for a tooth that is infected. If the tooth wasn't infected prior to the root canal or apico, then it became infected after the procedure because the blood supply which provides the tooth with nutrition is completely cut off causing the nerve tissue inside the tiny canals to become necrotic and sick.

You stated that your big concern is whether the tooth will become infected.... as I've stated above, all root canaled teeth and those that have had apicos remain infected after the procedure. To answer your question about the longevity of this tooth.... it will be in a guarded to hopeless state.

There are many systemic and oral complications that can occur with infected teeth, that is why it is healthiest to have them removed.

Hope this info helps you.....

I believe you. Can you do some magic for me, please . I have one day left to get some answers. My doctor thinks everything is ok and I will have to pay for another expensive intervention. Maybe this tooth need to be extracted before is to late. I don't want to get an infection after a few months. Here are some nice people who want to help me. I don't know how to send messages.
