The success rate of a root canal treatment is generally very high, typically ranging between 85% to 97%. When performed correctly and followed by proper restoration (such as a dental crown), most root canal-treated teeth can last a lifetime without complications.
Several factors influence the success rate, including:
The skill of the dentist or endodontist
The extent of infection or damage in the tooth
Timely placement of a permanent restoration
Good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups
With advancements in dental technology and techniques, root canal therapy has become a highly predictable and effective way to save natural teeth and relieve pain caused by infection or inflammation.

Can you get dry socket from a root canal?
No. By definition, a 'dry socket' is a painful condition that occurs following a tooth extraction, not a root canal. That is not to say that you cannot have pain following a root canal. You can, particularly if the tooth was acutely infected at the time of the root canal, or if the root canal is incomplete. You should consult with the dentist who performed the procedure and follow his/her recommendations.
What do you need for a root canal therapy?
In my experience, I have had three root canal fillings. None were successful. I was warned about this from friends who have had this procedure done. Some have suggested that a 'crown' would help. That has not been my finding. Again, that is IMO and my experiences. Were I you, I would have the tooth removed and consider an implant. Yes, they're costly, but succeed IMO far better than a root canal. It was also my finding that a root canal made my tooth very susceptible to breakage, damage, etc., in that root canal fillings are a delicate and less than a desirable way to "keep" your tooth. It's your call --- and be sure to address your dentist with your concerns about the "success" of root canal fillings. IF he or she is honest (and not just looking for more money to charge you) --- then you may well consider an implant. A root canal may well cost as much as an implant --- which is far superior.
