In a few cases a tooth that has been treated with a root canal will fail to heal. The tooth will then need an apicoectomy or may need to be extracted. Occasionally a tooth may become painful or diseased months or even years after successful treatment. If this occurs another apicoectomy procedure may save the tooth.
