Hello ma'am, You can try doing re-RCT and if the infection subsides then you can go ahead with crown placement. If the infection remain then better to extract the teeth and replacement of the same.

hello Yes, you can save the tooth by doing re rct first after that if the infection does not subside then you can undergo periapical surgery. The actual prognosis can be determined only after a thorough clinical examination.So visit the nearby endodontist
Next Steps
kindly share the xray before root canal treatment of these teeth if possible

Hello! I certainly understand your concern. You can give a try by getting Re RCT done and  if required surgery following it, but sucess rate will be just 20 % if recovers then that's the best part. You need to wait for 3-6 months for it to recover completely, if  there are no symptoms , u cannot expect changes immediately. There are cases which has showed good recovery and success. If this fails then definitely extraction follwed by implants will be the only option left.

Tooth is more precious, no harm in giving a  trying.

Better to go for extraction and wait till the infection subsides before further treatment.
