Determining the Optimal Obturation Length: A Meta-Analysis of LiteratureMichelle A. Schaeffer, DDS, MPH, Robert R. White, DMD, and Richard E. Walton, DMD, MSAbstractThe purpose was to aid in Determining termination ofinstrumentation and Obturation . A meta-analysis wasconducted as to success/failure of different obturationlengths. Inclusion criteria were (a) minimum follow-upof 2 yr, (b) data on Obturation length , (c) definition ofsuccess/failure, (d) available data on success/failure, (e)radiographic evaluation. Correlations were made as tosuccess/failure as related to length of Obturation fromthe apex. When comparing group A (obturated 0 1 mmfrom apex) versus group C (obturated past apex) usingthe DerSimonian and Laird estimates, group A showeda marginally better (p ) success rate than groupC by Group A had better success than group B(obturated 1 mm short); the difference was insignif-icant. The results were similar after controlling for studyquality using a single random effects regression conclusion, the meta-analysis indicated that a bettersuccess rate is achieved when treatment includes ob-turation short of the the Division of Endodontics, Director of EndodonticPrograms and Advanced Graduate Endodontics, HarvardSchool of Dental Medicine, Boston, MA and the University ofIowa College of Dentistry, Iowa City, request for reprints to Michelle A.
