Apical Extrusion: Is It an Inherent Occurrence During Every Endodontic Treatment?

The aim of this literature review was to analyze all available scientific data on apical extrusion and to identify and associate the possible factors influencing the occurrence of apical extrusion, ranging from the choice of the canal shaping system, the irrigation technique, to the choice of diameter and the apical limit of preparation. A bibliographic search for relevant articles on apical extrusion of debris, irrigants, and bacteria was performed using the following databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library, and ScienceDirect. This search identified articles published between 2010 and 2023 in two languages (French and English).

Efficacy of reciprocating and rotary retreatment nickel-titanium file systems for removing filling materials with a complementary cleaning method in oval canals.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of the S1 reciprocating system and the D-Race retreatment rotary system for filling material removal and the apical extrusion of debris.

Materials And Methods: Sixty-four freshly extracted maxillary canines were shaped with size 10 and size 15 K-files, instrumented using ProTaper Gold under irrigation with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), obturated according to the principle of thermo-mechanical condensation with gutta-percha and zinc oxide eugenol sealer, and allowed to set for 3 weeks at 37°C.
