Determining the optimal obturation length: a meta-analysis of literature.
TL;DR: A meta-analysis indicated that a better success rate is achieved when treatment includes obturation short of the apex when comparing group A versus group C using the DerSimonian and Laird estimates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Considerations in the selection of a root-end filling material.
TL;DR: This review discusses several of the commonly used root-end filling materials, with emphasis on indications and contraindications for the use of each.
Journal ArticleDOI
An in vivo evaluation of an electronic apex locator that uses the ratio method in vital and necrotic canals
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to compare the canal length determined by an apex locator to the apical constriction in both vital and necrotic canals, and there was no statistical difference between the ability of the Root ZX to determine the Apical Constriction in vital canals versus necrotics canals.
