Abstract

Root canal treatment is a widely practiced dental procedure aimed at salvaging compromised teeth, yet it is not immune to complications that may arise during or after the intervention. This abstract delves into the nuances of "Root Canal Complications: Recognizing and Addressing Challenges," shedding light on potential issues and providing insights into their identification and management.

Complications such as inadequate cleaning, missed canals, instrument fractures, and post-operative infections pose challenges that demand careful recognition and targeted solutions. Imaging technologies and meticulous examination by experienced endodontists play pivotal roles in detecting complications like root perforation or obstructions promptly.

Nerve pain and paresthesia, though rare, require special attention and may necessitate referral to specialists. Additionally, the article explores the phenomenon of cracked tooth syndrome in root canal-treated teeth, emphasizing the importance of early identification and appropriate restorative measures.

In conclusion, heightened awareness of potential complications, coupled with regular follow-ups and communication between patients and dental professionals, serves as a proactive approach to mitigating risks and ensuring the success of root canal treatments. This abstract aims to equip both dental practitioners and patients with knowledge to navigate and address challenges associated with root canal procedures effectively.
