Its is bascically a normal filing, except for the fact that a normal filing is when a dentist drills through your tooth and stops drilling before the nerve and then cleans the inside cavity and fills the tooth again. A root canal filing is when the dentist is required to drill all the way to the nerve and then clean the tooth, this procedure may become painful if repeatidly done as the nerve end gets damaged and numbing injections start to have less effect and you will then feel a bit of pain during the procedure. Root canals are only done when tooth decay has moved all the way to the root"nerve" of the tooth.
