    An unusual root canal shape, complex branching (especially the existence of horizontal branches), and multiple root canals are considered as the main causes of root canal treatment failures.

    The root canal filling material (3, 4, and 10) does not extend to the end of the tooth roots (5, 6 and 11).

Hence, alternative resin-based or glass-ionomer cement-based materials are used instead for smaller restorations including pit and small fissure caries.

  8. Toothache - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toothache

    Underneath the cementum and enamel layers, dentin forms the bulk of the tooth and surrounds the pulp system. The part of the pulp inside the crown is the pulp chamber, and the central soft tissue nutrient canals within each root are root canals, exiting through one or more holes at the root end (apical foramen/foramina).

  9. Overdenture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overdenture

    Therefore, the pulp has to be removed. If the root canals of the abutment teeth are obliterated, endodontic treatment is not required. Teeth with non-negotiable root canals should not be selected as abutments. Implant-supported. Edentulous patients with sufficient amount of bony ridge on their jaws can opt for implant supported overdenture. [4]
