Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Case difficulty category
Time Frame: Radiographic images were taken at the final treatment appointment. Case difficulty classification of cases was performed according to AEE case difficulty form data, and all radiographs were evaluated in terms of endodontic mishaps within 24 hours.
The American Association of Endodontists (AAE) has developed a case difficulty form to categorize endodontic cases into three levels: minimal, moderate, and high. This form encompasses three sections: general health status, diagnostic and treatment status, and contributing factors such as trauma, previous treatment, and periodontal disease.
Radiographic images were taken at the final treatment appointment. Case difficulty classification of cases was performed according to AEE case difficulty form data, and all radiographs were evaluated in terms of endodontic mishaps within 24 hours.
Endodontic mishaps
Time Frame: Radiographic images were taken at the final treatment appointment. Case difficulty classification of cases was performed according to AEE case difficulty form data, and all radiographs were evaluated in terms of endodontic mishaps within 24 hours.
Endodontic mishaps were classified as follows: over-instrumentation, underfilling (≥2 mm from the radiographic apex), overfilling (≥2 mm from the radiographic apex), canal transportation, instrument separation, lateral or strip perforation.
Radiographic images were taken at the final treatment appointment. Case difficulty classification of cases was performed according to AEE case difficulty form data, and all radiographs were evaluated in terms of endodontic mishaps within 24 hours.
