What is Success and Survival of Endodontically Treated Cracked Teeth with Radicular Extensions: A 2- to 4-year Prospective Cohort about?

## Introduction: There are no long-term, prospective clinical studies assessing outcomes of endodontically treated cracked teeth with radicular extensions. the purpose of this prospective study was to examine the 2- to 4-year success and survival rates of endodontically treated, coronally restored, cracked teeth, specifically where the crack extends beyond the level of the canal orifice internally. ## Methods: Seventy consecutive teeth requiring endodontic treatment with cracks extending to the level of the canal orifice and up to 5 mm beyond were included in the cohort. treatment was performed by a single endodontist using current techniques, and cases were followed over time. specific treatment and posttreatment protocols were used. a tooth was "survived" if it was present, asymptomatic, and functional. the category of "success" was given to a case if strict radiographic and clinical criteria were met. ## Results: Fifty-nine teeth were eligible for survival analysis, and 53 teeth were available for success analysis. there was a 100% survival rate in the first 2 years and 96.6% survival up to the 4-year period; 90.6% were classified as "success" in the 2- to 4-year term. no signif
