Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

The blister can be due to the presence of reinfection once the tooth is broken down in the root canal treatment. Formation of an abcsess in relation to the tooth can be the cause.

I would advice you to visit your endodontist and have a radiograph done.Once evaluated ,if the tooth can be retreated ,go ahead with the retreatment of the tooth.Crown placement should be followed thereby.
If the tooth cannot be saved ,have it extracted.

Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
