Quality-Shaping Factors and Endodontic Treatment amongst General Dental Practitioners with a Focus on Denmark by Sune Demant, Merete Markvart, Lars Bjørndal

“…Factors influencing RCT quality could be the status on adoption of nickel-titanium rotary technology, more focus on infection control (rubber dam use, knowledge of factors important for prognosis), as dentists often think that they are good at doing RCT, but often perform inadequately, an alteration of clinician's awareness of their performance in the context of dental practices, seems warranted. …”

Root Canal Stripping: Malpractice or Common Procedural Accident—An Ethical Dilemma in Endodontics by Ionela Elisabeta Ciobanu, Darian Rusu, Stefan-Ioan Stratul, Andreea Cristina Didilescu, Corina Marilena Cristache

“…Root canal stripping is defined as an oblong, vertical perforation that appears especially in the middle section of curved root canals during endodontic treatments with nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) instruments. Its occurrence may drastically affect the outcome of the treatment, transforming a common otherwise efficient endodontic procedure into a complication such as tooth extraction. …”
