Primary

MeasureTime frame
Radiographic success. Timepoint: 6 months and 12 months after the start of the intervention. Method of measurement: The existence of any of the parameters of periodontal ligament space expansion or internal or external root analysis or periapical radiolucency or furca area will indicate treatment failure.;Clinical success. Timepoint: 6 months and 12 months after the start of the intervention. Method of measurement: The presence of any of the criteria of spontaneous and persistent pain, or the presence of an abscess or periapical fistula, or sensitivity to pressure, will indicate treatment failure.
