The Tennessee study: Factors affecting treatment outcome and healing time following non?surgical root canal treatment

ConclusionMultiple host and treatment factors affected the healing time and outcome of root canal treatment. Follow?up protocols should consider these factors before concluding the treatment outcome: patient’s age, immune condition, as well as roots with overextended fillings, root canal systems with smaller apical preparations (size <35) or roots with complex canal systems. Intervention may be recommended if the treatment quality was inadequate or if patients became symptomatic.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
