title: The effect of the duration of intravenous zolendronate medication on the success of non-surgical endodontic therapy: a retrospective study.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Aim of this study is to compare the clinical and radiographic success of non-surgical endodontic therapy in patients receiving intravenous zolendronate less than 1 year and more than 1 year.
  
  
  METHODS
  The clinical and radiographic follow-up data of 24 patients who were receiving IV zolendronate with 37 teeth were retrieved from the archives to evaluate clinical and radiographic healing at the end of 12 months after non-surgical endodontic therapy. The clinical and radiographic scores of teeth treated with non-surgical endodontic therapy were analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The amount of non-healed and incomplete healed teeth in patients receiving zolendronate more than 1 year were more than the amount of teeth of non-healed and incomplete healed in patients receiving bisphosphonates less than 1 year (p <0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There was a strong relationship between the duration of the bisphosphonate medication and endodontic success.
