Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Endodontics
Background:
- Root canal therapy involves complex, sequential procedures.
- Deviations from proper techniques can result in endodontic mishaps.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the importance of knowledge and proper application of root canal procedures.
- To emphasize the role of understanding etiologic factors, prevention, recognition, management, and prognosis in endodontics.
Main Methods:
- Review of scientific procedures in root canal therapy.
