Summary

This study looks at how well root canal treatments work when done in general dental clinics, rather than specialist offices. Researchers will check about 1500 patients who had root canals in 2023 to see if infections remain after treatment. The goal is to understand why results may differ from specialist care and what happens when infections persist without causing pain.
