Redoing root canal. Attached x-ray

2019-04-25 07:23:08
I recently underwent a root canal for couple of my teeth as the decay was in-between the teeth . I went to another doctor for the crown. He took x-ray and said that, for one of the tooth the filling went below the Apex and hence the root canal has to be redone. I am attaching the x-ray. Please confirm if the root canal has to be redone.

Yes one of the tooth has overfilling which is going beyond the apex but if you have a problem that is pain during chewing or pain which is present on pressure to tooth then go for re rct otherwise it can be done after a time as it may resorb on its own. Crown will prove no problem
