RCT needs how many teeth support
Two questions -
I have had the root canal procedure. Two teeth were disturbed. Another doctor said - the support only one tooth was sufficient and the other shouldn't have been touched. Your suggestions please? I am now regretting having gone for RCT and I think I should have opted implant. RCT killed my two teeth. Your thoughts please..

Hello sir, Implants are always the best option for replacement of your missing teeth without involving the adjacent teeth.... But for ceramic bridge, it always required to take support from adjacent two teeth for a strong bridge and for its longevity... When we take adjacent teeth support it's better to do Root Canal for both the teeth, so that there won't be any pain or sensitivity in future...

Support of other teeth is required only when there is a missing tooth. An RCT is done on a tooth with infected pulp and layer capping is done to restore the tooth

It is difficult to comment anything without seeing the tooth. If a picture was provided I could better guide you.
We can tell only after seeing weather one tooth support was needed or two teeths.
You don't have to regret
RCT dint kill your teeths it in fact saved your teeths.
Trust your doctor. Don't be confused.
