Root canal therapy, like every other treatment, is not free of unknowns and complications. There is a possibility that during the procedure a shaping file could break and get stuck in the root canal or that the root of the tooth fractures. In other
In the event that root canal therapy is unsuccessful, your dentist can discuss alternative options including repeating the treatment or extracting the infected tooth.
