The impact of missed anatomy on the outcome of endodontic treatment is difficult to assess, and the literature on this subject is limited; a promising approach for future investigation may be a comparison of the number of canals found in failed treatment cases and after re-treatment. The clinical impact of missed anatomy can be clearly demonstrated with a large number of re-treatment case reports available in the literature; in the majority of these cases, failure of endodontic therapy is associated with untreated canal space. Localization and treatment of this missed anatomy typically leads to complete clinical and radiographic healing.

Abstract
The impact of missed anatomy on the outcome of endodontic treatment is difficult to assess, and the literature on this subject is limited; a promising approach for future investigation may be a comparison of the number of canals found in failed treatment cases and after re-treatment. The clinical impact of missed anatomy can be clearly demonstrated with a large number of re-treatment case reports available in the literature; in the majority of these cases, failure of endodontic therapy is associated with untreated canal space. Localization and treatment of this missed anatomy typically leads to complete clinical and radiographic healing.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
