This review looks at whether large apical master files lead to better root canal treatment outcomes. Only a limited number of low quality studies are available so at present we are uncertain.

In root canal treatment (RoCT) apical preparation is traditionally to three sizes larger than the first apical binding file (FABF) although some have argued for further enlargement. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different apical preparation sizes on the outcome of primary RoCT in mandibular first molars. Patients > 18 [read the full story…]
