Different materials used for repair of root perforation: A review

Abstract

Root perforation is commonly caused by procedural accident during operative procedure or might be due to any pathological alteration. Perforation can be defined as an artificial communication between oral environment and the supporting structures in the external root surfaces which may causes serious implications that can even lead to extraction. If the perforation diagnosed at early and proper measures taken for the perforation, can lead to long term survival of the tooth/teeth.
