Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The root canal treatment will be last for life time. There is no need to repeat the root canal treatmnet unless if the previous root canal treatment was not done properly or if there is a secondary infection. If there is no sufficient bone support, then the tooth has to be removed. so consult a good endodontist and take a opinion and later proceed with the treatment.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
