Abstract

The evaluation of root canal therapy done in several places by different authors sh0'0' high rates of failures. This is due to unskilled operators which disregard the complex endodontic morpholow as well as to difficulties with endo/radiographic techniques. Failures occur due to improper case selection, by missed canals or by technical problems such as: poor assepsis, poor lateral condensation during root canal filling, short fills and over extended fills. Separeted instruments or Silver points enhance the chances of failures. The author encourages retreatments instead of radiographic follow ups longer than 5 years: is it a carefull observation or a supervised neglection?
