Micro-computed Tomography-aided Evaluation for Root Dentin Micro-cracks after Root Canal Instrumentation in Diabetic and Nondiabetic Older Patients: A Pilot In vivo Study
Root canal instrumentation to apical constriction did not produce microcracks in diabetic or nondiabetic older patients. However, over-instrumentation significantly increased microcrack formation, suggesting adherence to root canal anatomy improves endodontic treatment efficacy.
