The role of apical instrumentation in root canal treatment: a review of the literature
J Endod.
2005 May.
Abstract
The issue of final apical preparation size remains controversial despite considerable clinical and in vitro research. The astute clinician must be aware of this research before choosing any instrumentation system because the informed clinician's decision must be guided by the best available evidenced-based information. This review article generated a Medline-based search strategy to disclose these studies and provides a critique and summary of the results.
