There is no data supporting as to how long will the tooth heal.
That depends on several factors. Once the canal is completely sealed and tge finsl restoration is placed, you should be comfortable. If there was a large radiolucuncy around thd tip of the root , it could take 3-4 months for the bone to refill the area. Sometimes, an apicoectomy( root tip amputation) is needed to get final healing.
Depending on which tooth and the amount of infection present it can potentially take between 2 weeks to 6 months.
1-3 days, although in most cases there is no pain or swelling.
It could take 6-12 months for the bone to heal after a root canal, but recovery time is usually immediate.
