Endodontic mishaps encompass a range of complications that can occur during root canal treatment procedures. These mishaps may include procedural errors, instrument fractures, perforations, and inadequate obturation, among others. Such occurrences can compromise the success of the root canal therapy and potentially lead to treatment failure or complications for the patient. Understanding the causes, prevention strategies, and management approaches for endodontic mishaps is crucial for dental professionals to optimize treatment outcomes and ensure patient safety.
