What is this in my Xray?

There are two things wrong with tooth 18 in the pic. What are they?

Looks like someone "made" a canal where it doesn't exist. Also nearly perforated the chamber towards the front of the tooth. That's a poorly performed RCT.

What is the tubular shape thing about 1/2 way up the tooth running off horizontal? Has this root canal failed? Do you see any access? thanks for reviewing this , my new dentist just stared at it then told me to see a specialist. Should i just have it extracted, it was painful 7 days ago, now the pain is gone.

That tubular thing is what I'm guessing is a canal made where one doesn't exist. It's hard to tell more from that image, esp with the Moire pattern. Go see an endodontist and at least get an opinion. Overall it's not a good RCT, so don't waste too much more money on it if he give a poor prognosis.

The dentist that did this root canal, (now retired) said the tubular thing is a Silver Point, and the X-ray show a root canal failure and also show abbess on the bottom of the X-ray. He said have the tooth extracted. The odd thing is the pain has been gone for 10 days, it was so bad i could not even chew on that side.
