【 摘 要 】

Apical periodontitis is an inflammatory disorder of periradicular tissues caused by persistent microbial infection of the root canal system of the affected tooth. Diagnosis of apical periodontitis is based on radiological detection of deviaton from normal periapical anatomy. The goal of contemporary endodontic treatment is to remove infection and prevent reinfection of endodontic space, in order to create conditions for healing of periapical tissues and keep tooth in function. Despite of high prevalence of root canal treatment, the rate of failure is exceptionally high. Numerous studies indicate that quality of root canal filling and coronal restoration play an important role in prevention of microbial penetration to periapical tissues. The aim of this review was to analyze the literature to evaluate the influence of the quality of endodontic treatment on periapical tissue health in cross-sectional studies.
