Evidence-based root canal treatments

Research has identified specific factors that positively influence root canal treatment (RTC) outcomes, such as apical preparation size, termination of the obturation material in relation to the radiographic apex, cuspal coverage restorations, and use of a rubber dam. Based on this research, the Air Force (AF) Dental Service has established evidence-based treatment standards for endodontics that are designed to provide high-quality safe dental care. A program of monthly peer reviews evaluates adherence to these standards.
