“…Several studies have shown that the standard of root canal treatment performed by undergraduate students and general dental practitioners is poor (9,6,21,22). Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate the technical quality of root canal fillings performed by senior dental students in XXXXX colleges (KSA) and compare our results with those of previous studies.…”

“…The percentage of acceptable root canal fillings was 91% when the root canal treatment was performed by an endodontist (27). Lower rates were obtained when the root canal treatment was performed by general practitioners (22,28) and senior (5,6) or inaugural dental students (8,14). Some studies have concluded that the percentage of technical success was highly improved with the rotary in¬strumentation of root canals (15,25) .…”

“…C ross-sectional epidemiologic studies have shown a high prevalence of root canals with deficient fillings (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). Moreover, it has been demonstrated that poor technical radiographic quality of root fillings is often associated with a high prevalence of periapical lesions (1,3,(6)(7)(8).…”

“…Moreover, it has been demonstrated that poor technical radiographic quality of root fillings is often associated with a high prevalence of periapical lesions (1,3,(6)(7)(8). Chemomechanical preparation and filling are fundamental and interdependent steps in endodontic treatment (9,10).…”

“…Chemomechanical preparation and filling are fundamental and interdependent steps in endodontic treatment (9,10). In the assessment of the relationship between the quality of root-filled canals and periapical status, apical extension and homogeneity are the main parameters that have been used (1,(5)(6)(7). Because taper is a complex parameter, it has not been frequently assessed (11,12).…”
