“Crossing the Bar: Death of a Tooth"
Endodontic success rates can be difficult to forecast. The failure of endodontically treated teeth is always costly in more ways than one. In this presentation we will discuss many of the weaknesses of endodontically treated teeth that predispose them to failure and how to best prognosticate success. We will also discuss staving off the death of a tooth.
