Root canaled teeth, in some instances will become reinfected.
Once a tooth has a root canal, the living part of it has died and it has been replaced by an inorganic material.
We consider removing the root canals if:
1. there is evidence of acute infection – bone loss in a dental x-ray. Bone loss means something must be eating away at your bone. That something eating bone is bacteria, fungus and your immune system.
2. if there is pain – pain on biting indicates acute infection and inflammation in the bone and gum surrounding a root canal tooth
3. if there is swelling – swelling means bacteria are in such high numbers that they have spread to another space such as your mouth, cheek or sinus.
4. if the root canal tooth smells bad – the bad smell is usually coming from bad gases produced by the bacteria and fungus in your tooth
5. if the root canal tooth is significantly darkened – dark teeth are usually full of fungus and bacteria. Dark teeth are usually leaking bacteria and fungus in higher numbers and are a huge risk for abscess.
6. If you have any systemic illness that may be caused by the root canal.

Most root canaled teeth present some kind of inflammation of surrounding tissue, effectively diagnosed by a CT scan.
The only possibility to escape this chronic intoxication is the surgical removal of these dead teeth, as well as the surrounding cystic tissue, residue-free curettage of the soft bone is mandatory, and the next step is the Ozone disinfection of remaining tissues.
