The aim of this study was to determine different causes of endodontic treatment failure in patients who approached ourDepartment of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics for re- treatment.This study included one hundred fifty patientsof both genders with different post endodontic treatment complaints.Clinical and radio- graphic examination was usedto confirm treatment failure. The most common clinical symptoms were tenderness, tenderness and pain, or swelling(72%, 29.3% and 22.7% respectively). The common causes of endodontic treatment failure were poorly filled (40%),under filled (34.7%) and no root canal filling (17.3%).Root canal failure due to overfilling was 5.3%.Most of these failedcases were either treated by internees (House officers) in the teaching institutes (34.7%) or general dental practitioners(57.3%).
