Complications can occur during endodontic treatment at any time. This may happen during diagnosis and treatment planning, access preparation, cleaning and shaping, obturation and restoration, as well as nonsurgical or surgical treatment. Clinicians must be able to diagnose and manage errors when they do occur and have strategies in place to prevent them and eliminate risks.
Readers are guided through common errors and risk factors, recommendations for preventing mishaps, and methods to manage these challenges so clinicians can ultimately achieve results that provide long-term comfort, function, and aesthetics for the patient. Each of the ten chapters provides complete descriptions of the aetiologic factors, explains the prevention of complications, and recommends treatment options associated with these complications. The book is enhanced with more than 500 high-quality clinical and radiographic images and each chapter has key references to the evidence. The authors show that most procedural errors can be avoided by adhering to the basic principles of diagnosis, case selection, treatment planning, access preparation, shaping and cleaning, obturation, restoration, nonsurgical and surgical retreatments, and outcomes assessment.
