Well, it seems to have been a large cavity. If the tooth was giving some pain or sensitivity before you had it fixed, then your chance of recovery is even lowered. Sometimes the "nerve" (pulp) just can't recover from the damage and starts dying, leading to a choice between RCT or extraction. If your pain is increasing and/or you start needing lots of painkillers, then get ready.
