Abstract

Like any other field of dentistry, a clinician may face unwanted situations during the root canal treatment which can affect the prognosis of endodontic therapy. These procedural accidents are collectively termed as endodontic mishaps. accurate diagnosis, proper case selection, and adherence to basic principles of endodontic therapy may prevent occurrence of procedural accidents. Endodontic mishaps may have dento-legal consequences. Thus their prevention is the best option both for patient as well as dentist. Knowledge of etiological factors involved in endodontic mishaps is mandatory for their prevention. Recognition of a procedural accident is first step in its management. Procedural accidents can occur at any stage of the root canal treatments which may lead to endodontic failures.
