Common Mishaps in Endodontics: Prevention and Management
Join us on for an informative evening at our next Study Club where we’ll dive into Common Mishaps in Endodontics: Prevention and Management. Learn to spot procedural pitfalls, implement strategies to avoid them, and master the techniques you need to navigate complications, so you can elevate your root canal therapy success.
Endodontic mishaps are procedural errors that occur during root canal therapy, potentially compromising the prognosis of the tooth and possibly leading to damage of surrounding tissues. These complications can arise at any stage of the treatment; starting from diagnosis and extending through access, shaping, and obturation. Understanding the underlying causes of these mishaps is essential for early prevention and timely management. This presentation will provide valuable insight into minimizing complications and enhancing the success of root canal therapy.
Objectives:
- Recognize and understand the most common causes of endodontic mishaps
- Apply strategies to prevent mishaps from occurring
- Identify effective management techniques for handling clinical complications
