Endodontics
COMMON MISTAKES DURING ROOT CANAL TREATMENT PROCEDURES: CAUSES, CONSEQUENCES, PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT
Although modern endodontics has undergone substantial technological advancement, procedural errors continue to occur in routine practice. Studies have shown that many endodontic failures are associated not with the biological complexity of the disease itself but with iatrogenic errors occurring during treatment. Such mistakes can compromise canal disinfection, weaken tooth structure, damage periodontal tissues, or hinder complete obturation of the root canal system which further reduces the prognosis of the treatment. Importantly, many of these mishaps are preventable through careful planning, adherence to established treatment protocols, and an understanding of root canal anatomy.
