Abstract:
When it comes to endodontic treatment, anomalies in root canal morphology present significant challenges. These deviations from normalcy can complicate diagnosis, treatment, and long-term prognosis because failing to identify and treat all aspects of the canal system can result in incomplete debridement, persistent infection, or treatment failure. Therefore, taking advantage of advanced diagnostic tools like cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and dental microscopes to identify these early in the treatment process is essential in ensuring a more thorough and successful outcome.
