Endodontic Errors Detected by CBCT in Egypt
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
This observational cross-sectional study aims to evaluate the prevalence of endodontic procedural errors in root canal-treated teeth among an Egyptian subpopulation using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The study will analyze CBCT scans obtained from radiology centers in Cairo to detect errors such as missed canals, short fillings, perforations, fractured instruments, and other complications. Understanding the frequency and distribution of these errors between the maxillary and mandibular arches may help improve endodontic treatment outcomes and raise awareness of common procedural challenges. The study does not involve any new treatment or drug but will rely on previously taken CBCT images.
