That's unfortunate that u had to undergo the procedure 3 times when it could have been done right first time itself .Well as per the situation now get a Re-Rct with apisectomy from a qualified dentist with experience . Meet, talk and use your judgement before getting the treatment . Ask how many cases they have done and see records if possible .
