Endodontic Management of Failed Root Canal Treatment in Teeth With Previously Missed Canals: A Report of Two Cases With Rare Root Canal Morphology.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Teeth may exhibit a wide range of anatomical variations in their roots and root canal systems, making them challenging to treat in endodontic procedures. Generally, maxillary canines and mandibular premolars present with a single root with one canal, and variations are comparatively rare. Achieving a fluid-impervious seal in endodontic therapy requires thorough debridement and three-dimensional obturation of the root canal system, which is considered a complex micro-neurologic procedure. Clinicians may fail to achieve the successful outcome without a comprehensive understanding of the pulp chamber and root canal system anatomy. We present a report of successful management of previously failed root canal treatment of two such cases, a maxillary canine and a mandibular premolar, with a previously missed second canal due to their uncommon root canal morphological presentation. This report also comprehensively reviews the literature, focusing on the clinically significant anatomical variations and detailing techniques for the effective management of such anomalies in endodontic treatment. The review provides an in-depth explanation of each stage of treatment, including preoperative diagnosis, intraoperative identification of morphological variations, and evidence-based modern endodontic treatment approaches. Emphasis is placed on ensuring a thorough understanding of these steps to achieve successful outcomes in the management of complex cases involving root canal anatomical variations.
