Article Synopsis
- * Out of 349 roots examined, the overall failure rate was 13.18%, with 8.3% showing poor filling quality. It was found that poor quality of the root filling was significantly linked to higher failure rates.
- * Key factors impacting treatment success included homogeneity, taper, and apical extension of the filling, with poor filling quality resulting in increased odds of treatment failure; however, the presence of pre-existing periapical lesions did not significantly affect outcomes.
