Effect of Apical Root Size on Endodontic Treatment Outcome

Posted: December 20, 2024
Increasing the apical size of roots enlarged for root canal obturation has a significant impact on the outcome of non-surgical endodontic treatment for teeth with apical periodontitis. A retrospective study of 210 single-rooted canal cases revealed that teeth with a root apical size of ≤50 had better prognoses compared to those with sizes ≥55. Enlarged apical root sizes of ≥55 were associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes, suggesting a correlation between apical size and treatment success in endodontic cases.
