Endodontics - 3 Questions
Endodontic therapy (root canal treatment) is generally effective for conditions like a periapical (PA) abscess, horizontal root fractures (depending on location), and chronic abscesses, provided the tooth is restorable.
The answer should be 4 (All of the above) as persistent positive cultures, incomplete apical obturation with infection, and some cases with pulp stones are all potential indications for apicoectomy when conventional treatment fails.
After endodontic treatment, teeth lose moisture and become more brittle. An MOD onlay provides better protection by covering cusps and distributing occlusal forces, unlike an inlay which does not protect cusps from fracture.
