Abstract

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the significance of carrying out a proper, well-adapted coronal restoration in order to prevent bacterial infiltration of the root canal sealing. We studied 49 clinical cases endodontically pretreated, with occluso-proximal restorations placed. We selected to present 10 clinical cases that had incorrect coronal obturation, which allowed contamination of the root canal treatment. Incorrect marginal adaptated restorations with composite resin and, also the fissures/fractures of the composite material or dental structure, the appearance of secondary caries, and marginal discolouration, can cause infiltration of the root canal filling.

We must highlight the fact that the quality of the root canal treatment also depends on the correct type of coronal restoration chosen (direct or indirect restorations).
