Root end resection typically removes how much of the tip?

  1. 1mm

  2. 2mm

  3. 3mm

  4. 4mm

The correct answer is: 3mm

Root end resection typically removes 3mm of the tip. If 1mm or 2mm is removed, it may not effectively remove all of the damaged tissue and can result in an incomplete procedure. Removing 4mm may be excessive and can increase the risk of damaging adjacent structures.
