A bstract — The periapical tissues of adult teeth of monkeys were examined histologically after root canal treatment with calcium hydroxide. Healing, as evidenced by complete apical closure with a hard tissue bridge and an inflammation‐free periodontal ligament, occurred more frequently where canals were instrumented 1 mm short of the apex. Overinstrumented canals exhibited a significantly decreased incidence of apical closure.
