“…In this present study only 5.0% of cases were found in which over-obturation was the failure cause. These results comparable with the outcomes of Praveena et al 14 , Rasheed 15 and Khan 16 but the other studies shown over-obturation percentage at great level. 11,12 Another essential reason for root treated teeth failure is iatrogenic errors since they result in root-canal system areas which escape appropriate compound and mechanical debridement bringing about relentless intraradicular disease.…”

“…12,14 14.50% missed-canals occurrence was found in present study. Deepthi and Praveena reported in a recent study that failure of endodontic treatment caused by untreated canals and these were 13.0% 15 but different studies reported failures about to 17.7% & 20.0% because of missed canals. 12,14 Another cause of failure of endodontic treatment is root-canals over-obturation which reported in literature.…”

Objective: To assess the reasons for failure of beginning endodontic therapy. Material and Method: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out at University of Lahore during the period from February, 2016 to December, 2016. Total 400 patients were included in which males were 214 (53.50%) and female patients were 186 (46.50%). Age ranges of all the patients were 13-years to 70-years. To find out the reasons for failure of beginning root-canal therapy, examination of periapical radiographs of these four hundred patients was done. Results: Canal under-obturation was found in 182 (45.50%), poor-obturation in 104 (26.0%), missed canals had 58 (14.50%), over-obturation observed in 20 (5.0%) and iatrogenic error was found in 9% as a reason for failure of beginning root-canal therapy out of these 400 radiographs. Conclusion: It was concluded that root-canal under-obturation was the most general reason for beginning endodontic treatment failure subsequently poor-obturation, over-obturation, missed canals and iatrogenic errors.
