Does Low-Taper Root Canal Shaping Decrease the Risk of Root Fracture? A Systematic Review

Minimal root-canal preparation has been suggested to reduce the risk of root fracture, but as a result, satisfactory cleaning and shaping do not take place. Large-scale taper instrumentation can contribute to removing infected tissue; however, it may weaken the tooth structure. The aim of this syste...
