re: Root canal gone wrong.

I rarely did root canals on teeth that were hurting badly. I'd put them on antibiotics and good pain meds, it would settle down in a day or two, then I'd get them in when I could work when I had adquate time available. Typically that was a week later, but no one complained because they would virtually always calm down with antibiotics (even without swelling). If it didn't calm down in a day or two, I'd have them call me and I'd send them to an endodontist. Doing a root canal on a hot tooth that won't calm down is BAD for word of mouth and referrals.

Correct. But once every couple years we get one that just won't react and we've got to do what we've got to do. It's not often, and I hope it stays that way.
Those are the ones that you access and there is no necrosis or infection whatsoever. Just a blood bath. Usually in the ones that will react, you access and there is no coronal pulp and/or there is tissue in 2 canals but the 3rd is necrotic... You can tell that tissue is on its way out due to no blood flow, etc.
