ROOT PERFORATIONS: A REVIEW

Keywords: Root perforations, Stripping

Abstract

Root perforations are one of the risks when endodontically treating the teeth and depend on the operator that this accident will not be the end of the affected tooth. Root perforations are one of the causes of endodontic failures and are denominated in terms of artificial openings in the root walls created by the milled one, drilled, cut or resorption that turns out in a communication between the pulp space to periodontal tissues, that could cause a secondary periodontal complication and a possible lose of the tooth. They can be induced by iatrogenic causes, resorptives processes or by decay. The purpose of this paper was to review the factors that affect this failure.
