dc.description.abstractIntroductionDental students face a number of challenges when it comes to performing root canal treatments (RCTs). The Endodontic Complexity Assessment Tool (E-CAT) was developed to assist dental practitioners in assessing the complexity of RCTs before beginning treatment. Materials and MethodsThe E-CAT was filled out independently by both the educator and the student. To allow educators to record scores and complexity classes, they transferred their and students' forms to the website . Students began endodontic treatment after learning about the complexity level of the case. The educators were responsible for recording any complications encountered in every case from the outset to 1 month after treatment. ResultsA total of 70 students, 33 in fourth and 37 in fifth-grade, were included in the study. In the cases with higher E-CAT scores, complications such as misdiagnosed, faulty access cavity, furca or coronal third perforation, insufficient root canal instrumentation, working length loss, canal blockage, overpreparation, incomplete root canal filling and overfilling were experienced significantly more often compared to the cases with lower E-CAT scores (p < .05). The number of complications (r = .40, p < .001), treatment sessions (r = .44, p < .001), and teacher support (r = .24, p < .001) positively correlated with E-CAT score (p < .05). ConclusionThe E-CAT is an effective tool for assisting dental students in understanding technical challenges, such as complex root canal anatomy and possible complications during treatment. Educators can also use e-CAT to pre-select clinical cases and standardise student training by offering cases of equal complexity.
