Assessing root canal fillings on a radiograph--an overview

V Hansrani. Br Dent J. .

Abstract

This article will discuss why a root filling that appears satisfactory on a radiograph may fail, and why one which appears unsatisfactory on a radiograph may succeed. In doing so, this article will also discuss the criteria of endodontic success and failure and its implications on the decision to retreat.
