Objective: The aim of this work is to correlate between endodontic case complexities and treatment quality outcomes.
Methods: Three hundred and forty nine radiographs of patients who had received endodontic treatment at a postgraduate dental institute in Dubai were retrieved from the Institute's data base. The majority of the cases were referred by in house general dental practitioners (GDPs).
Background: It is well recognized that disinfection of the complex root canal system at the apical root canal remains the most critical therapeutic measure to treat apical periodontitis.
Material And Methods: Observational and experimental data in relation to the anatomy of the apical root canal in different tooth types and the cross sectional diameters of the apical part of the most commonly used hand and rotary files are critically reviewed.
Results: The present data analysis confirm that the challenging issue of antibacterial efficacy of modern preparation protocols in non-surgical endodontics requires more attention to apical root canal irrigation as a balance between safety and effectiveness.
