Abstract

Endodontic treatment can be predictable, successful, and relatively easy to perform if every individual
step is performed appropriately. Hasty mechanical and chemical manipulation of the root canal system can
lead to procedural error. Procedural accidents during endodontic treatment occurs either due to inadequate
attention to the details. Removal of canal wall structure on the outside curve in the apical half of the canal
due to the tendency of files to restore themselves to their original linear shape during canal preparation may
lead to ledge formation and possible perforation.
