Description
Mehmet Aksan, Ozgur Genc Sen and Elif Bastug Guven assess in 2026 how well preclinical dental students filled root canals in extracted teeth. Their review covers work by 120 third-year students between 2019 and 2021, judged on X-rays for length, evenness and taper.
Of 1,050 fillings, about two thirds met the set standard for good quality. Lower premolars scored highest, while lower molars scored lowest on every measure. Single-rooted teeth did better than teeth with several roots. For teachers, the pattern pinpoints where extra practice is needed before students treat patients, namely curved and multi-rooted molar canals.
