Abstract
The management of iatrogenic perforations in the permanent dentition is challenging. Early detection and timely repair of iatrogenic tooth perforations are crucial for achieving a favourable prognosis. This article brings together information on the factors that affect the success of perforation repair and categorises them into three domains: Perforation-related, patient-related, and clinician-related. By analysing the existing literature, the review offers a holistic perspective on how these factors impact the prognosis of perforation repair, providing useful guidance for clinical decision-making and risk evaluation. In highlighting the current limitations within the evidence base, the review also suggests avenues for future research aimed at enhancing the predictability and success rates of iatrogenic perforation repair in contemporary endodontic treatment.
期刊介绍:
The Australian Endodontic Journal provides a forum for communication in the different fields that encompass endodontics for all specialists and dentists with an interest in the morphology, physiology, and pathology of the human tooth, in particular the dental pulp, root and peri-radicular tissues.
The Journal features regular clinical updates, research reports and case reports from authors worldwide, and also publishes meeting abstracts, society news and historical endodontic glimpses.
The Australian Endodontic Journal is a publication for dentists in general and specialist practice devoted solely to endodontics. It aims to promote communication in the different fields that encompass endodontics for those dentists who have a special interest in endodontics.
