Root canal treatment is a permanent solution to teeth infection and it is a modality which makes it possible for saving even the most damaged teeth from extraction. Root canal treatment does not need reputation unless there is Re infection due to some other cause. And there is no logical basis of comparing root canal treatment with extraction, because as mentioned previously, root canal treatment is the only modality which makes it possible to save the extraction of the teeth.
