Missed\/Untreated Canals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Back molars often have extra canals (e.g., MB2 in upper molars).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If a canal is not located or cleaned, infection persists.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><em>Prevention<\/em>:<\/strong>&nbsp;Use of&nbsp;<strong>microscope<\/strong>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<strong>CBCT<\/strong>&nbsp;ensures all canals are found.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.
