The root apex is of interest to endodontists because the stages of root development and the type of tissue present within the roots of teeth are significant to the practice of endodontics. The apical limit of root canal instrumentation and obturation is one of the major controversial issues in root canal therapy. Appreciable knowledge of the morphology of the root apex and its variance, ability to interrupt it correctly in radiogaphs, and to felt it through tactile sensation during instrumentation are essential for an effective rendering of the treatment of root canals. The apical limit of root canal instrumentation and obturation is one of the major controversial issues in root canal therapy.
