inadequate obturation. This can occur when the root canal filling material does

sterilization are also crucial, but inadequate obturation is the most common
technical error leading to treatment failure.

General MedicineParathyroid hormone (PTH) is the primary hormone that regulates calcium homeostasis in the body. It is secreted by the parathyroid glands and acts on the kidneys, bones, and intestines to maintain serum calcium levels within a narrow range. While vitamin D and calcitonin also play roles in calcium metabolism, PTH is the major player in this regulatory process.
