Radiographic assessments followed European Society of Endodontology (ESE) guidelines using two criteria: No sealer extrusion (NSE) and accepted sealer extrusion (ASE). Pre\u2010 and intraoperative variables, including tooth type, instrumentation method, root canal curvature, and apical root resorption, were analyzed through bivariate and multivariate logistic regression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The prevalence of satisfactory RCTs was 45.9% (NSE) and 62.3% (ASE).
