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.

Contemporary Intracanal Medicaments in Endodontics: A Clinical Guide
Various medicaments such as calcium hydroxide, chlorhexidine, antibiotic pastes, corticosteroid-antibiotic combinations, bioceramic medicaments, and strontium-based formulations have been advocated depending upon the clinical scenario. The choice of medicament depends on factors including pulpal status, microbial flora, periapical pathology, exudation, resorption, and patient-specific considerations. While calcium hydroxide remains the gold standard because of its antimicrobial and hard tissue induction properties, newer materials such as bioceramic medicaments offer enhanced biocompatibility and bioactivity. Strontium-based formulations have also gained attention for their remineralization and osteogenic potential.
