Endodontics Answer: 1

The most frequent failures of root canal treated cases are often due to
inadequate obturation. This can occur when the root canal filling material does
not completely fill the space or when it is not properly compacted, leaving gaps
where bacteria can persist and cause reinfection. Proper preparation and
sterilization are also crucial, but inadequate obturation is the most common
technical error leading to treatment failure.
