PROCEDURAL ACCIDENTS
Clinicians must always have a scientifically sound, evidence based
rationale for every treatment decision that is made so they may best
serve the patients who entrust them with their care.
Almost 16 million root canal procedures were performed in 2009;
with success rates varying between 45%-98%/ it has proven to be
a reliable treatment
There are many causes for failure of initial endodontic therapy
that have been described in the endodontic literature. These
include iatrogenic procedural errors such as poor access cavity
design, untreated canals (both major and accessory), canals that
are poorly cleaned and obturated.
Complications of instrumentation (ledges, perforations, broken
instruments), and overextended root canal filling materials.

Procedural Accidents:
1. Causes, prevention and management of perforations, ledge
formation and creating new canal.
2. Prevention and management of separated instruments
3. Prevention and management of accidents during obturation and
accidents during canal space preparation.

Once the diagnosis is complete, the cause of the persistent disease will
become apparent.
In cases with previous endodontic therapy, radiographs are very useful
in evaluation of caries, defective restorations, periodontal health, the
quality of the obturation, existence of missed canals, and impediments
to instrumentation, periradicular pathosis, perforations, fractures,
resorption, and canal anatomy.
It has been stated that there may be different ways to treating a
disease; however, there can be only one correct diagnosis.

Perforation Coronal to Chamber Floor:
Due to failure to establish axial inclination of tooth can be related with
a number of adverse effects on prognosis.
Chamber floor perforation:
Due to failure to properly establish the floor depth of pulp chamber in
molar and premolars.

MTA
Calcium silicate and phosphate
Root Repair materials ( Bio-aggregate)
I-Root SP/ modified injectable MTA
Amalgam
GIC
GP
Tricalcium phosphate (bioactive material)
Ledge Formation:
Causes:
- Failure to make access cavity
- using a straight instrument in a curved canal
- Lack of knowledge of anatomic complexities of root canal
Detection:
- When instrument can no longer be inserted to the full W.L.
- Losing the feeling with no tactile sensation
- Instrument tip hits against a solid wall.
** Best time to do mechanical prep is the first visit because
dentin is still healthy.

Correction:
- A small file (10-15) is sharply bent at the tip and inserted in a
watch winding motion
- Once the file is felt in the canal lumen and the file is moved in a
push-pull vertical stroke against the ledges wall.
- Irrigation
- A larger file is used in the same manner.
Prevention:
-
Perforation
Cervical canal perforation: may be perforated during access.
Causes:
- Process of locating the canal orifice
- Stripping the inner wall of the curve (area of minimum dentin
thickness) dangerous zone.
Detection:
- Sudden appearance of hemorrhage
- Pain
Correction:
- Effort to seal perforation.
Stripping Perforation
Attempt for re-calcification with Ca(OH)2 has been tried but with
limited success.
Prevention:
P a g e 10 | 19

Correction:
- Creating an apical barrier to prevent overextension of filling as
dentin chips, Ca(OH)2.
- Negotiate file to apical segment: consider dealing with canals with
2 apical foramina ( 1 natural, 1 lateral)
- Use vertical compaction technique.
Over-extension:
- Proper re-adjustment of working length
- Enlarging canal instrument to that length

Causes:
- Dentin shavings compacted into a hardened mass
- Packing of pulp tissue (vital) to form collagen plug
- No irrigation during preparation
Detection:
- We cannot reach W.L.
Correction:
- Recapitulation using copious irrigation.
- Blockage occurred at the level of the canal curvature, pre-curving
is indicated.
Prognosis:
- If early, before cleaning and shaping. Affects prognosis
- If after cleaning and shaping, not affected
Prevention:
- Copious irrigation and use of patency files.

Gutta-Percha Removal
It is relatively easy to remove this material using a combination of
heat, solvents and mechanical instrumentation.
** Mechanical rotary systems available for GP removal, including rotary
file systems such as the:
- ProFile quarter-turn file system
- Canal Finder
Dedicated GP removal instruments, such as the
4. GPX
5. ProTaper Universal retreatment files
6. Mtwo R
Brasseler GPX Instruments. ProTaper Universal retreatment file has a
cutting tip for enhanced penetration of the root filling materials.
Great care should be exercised when removing the paste to avoid overextension, potentially severe postoperative pain and possible
paresthesia/dysesthesia from the pastes potential neurotoxicity.
Managing Solid Core Obturators
Such as thermafill, dens-fil and GT obturator.

Root Fracture
Causes:
- Too much force of compaction during obturation
- During insertion of post
Detection:
-
Cracking sound
Persistent pain and tenderness
Radiolucent halo in the radiograph
Persistent angular periodontal defect
