Apical hard‐tissue deposition in adult teeth of monkeys with use of calcium hydroxide

— The periapical tissues of adult teeth of monkeys were examined histologically after root canal treatment with calcium hydroxide. Healing, as evidenced by complete apical closure with a hard tissue bridge and an inflammation‐free periodontal ligament, occurred more frequently where canals were inst...

Description
Summary:	— The periapical tissues of adult teeth of monkeys were examined histologically after root canal treatment with calcium hydroxide. Healing, as evidenced by complete apical closure with a hard tissue bridge and an inflammation‐free periodontal ligament, occurred more frequently where canals were instrumented 1 mm short of the apex. Overinstrumented canals exhibited a significantly decreased incidence of apical closure.
