ABSTRACT
While undertaking endodontic procedures, setback can occur. These accidents are defined as unfortunate events taking place while performing endodontic therapy. Some of these events are a result of poor attention to detail, others are totally unpredictable. Some of these unfortunate events are perforation in the chamber of the floor of the mouth, or poor obturation of the canal system, which will lead to failure of the treatment. In drilling procedures, time is of the essence. The best time to repair root perforations is immediately after the accident occurs, minimizing thus the potential of infection at the perforation site. Use of restorative materials such as Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) offer better prognosis in perforations treatments.
