Abstract: Perforations are common complications of root canal therapy. In clinic, perforations that were improperly and untimely repaired can seriously affect the prognosis of teeth after root canal treatment. At present, the status of perforation repair in our country is worrisome. This paper focused on the progress of perforation repair in the country by discussing the current situation of repair methods and materials. This review aims to improve knowledge and aid clinical doctors in the sophistication of perforation repair in order to improve the retention rate of root-canal-treated teeth.
