[Endodontic treatment as an iatrogenic factor].

Area of Science:

• Dentistry
• Endodontics
• Clinical Research

Background:

• Endodontic treatment, commonly known as root canal therapy, is a dental procedure aimed at saving a damaged or infected tooth.
• While generally safe and effective, endodontic procedures can sometimes lead to iatrogenic complications, which are adverse events caused by medical examination or treatment.

Observation:

• This report details five specific cases where patients experienced iatrogenic complications following endodontic treatment.
• The observations focus on the nature of these complications and their clinical presentation.

Findings:

• The study identifies and discusses various iatrogenic complications associated with endodontic procedures.
• Analysis of these five cases highlights common patterns and potential causes of these adverse events.

Implications:

• Understanding these complications is vital for dental practitioners performing endodontic therapy.
• Improved awareness and management strategies can enhance patient safety and treatment success rates in endodontics.
