Procedural errors detected by cone beam tomography in cases with indication for retreatment: cross-sectional study.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the frequency and type of endodontic procedural errors in cases indicated for retreatment through cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) analysis.

Materials And Methods: The sample consisted of 96 CBCT scans, encompassing 122 permanent teeth with fully formed roots. Errors included perforation, instrument fracture, canal transportation, missed canals, and inadequate apical limit of filling.

Guided Endodontic Treatment of Mandibular Incisor with Pulp Canal Obliteration following Dental Trauma: A Case Report.

Root canal obliteration is caused by hard tissue apposition and is often associated with teeth with a history of trauma, orthodontic movement, caries reaction, restorative procedures near the pulp chamber, and teeth of elderly patients. Preoperative planning of root canal treatment should be thorough and include an assessment of the patient's signs and symptoms in addition to the evaluation of complementary examinations. In a 27-year-old patient with dyschromia of the lower central incisor, a history of dental trauma, and a positive response to vertical percussion, an initial periapical radiograph was obtained that showed calcification of the canal and presence of a periapical lesion.
