Description
A multi-stage consensus process was designed and applied to generate definitions for controversial terms describing root and canal anatomy. The overall direction of the project was provided by an Executive Group, whereas a separate Task & Finish Group was convened to compile a preliminary list of controversial terms together with proposed definitions. This draft was then circulated to an international panel of 32 experts, who took part in an anonymous, web-based Delphi exercise to give independent feedback. Findings from this Delphi round were subsequently examined and debated during a virtual meeting.
