Which perforation location has the best prognosis?

  1. Coronal third of root

  2. Apical third of root

  3. Chamber floor

  4. Middle third of root

The correct answer is: Apical third of root

The best perforation location for prognosis is the apical third of the root. This is because this area has the best chance for periodontal healing due to its good blood supply and ability to regenerate. The coronal third of the root is also a good location, but it may result in some degree of periodontal breakdown. The chamber floor is not a good location as it can lead to contamination and damage to the tooth pulp. The middle third of the root is also not a good location as it can lead to damage to the root surface and potential exposure of the root canal.
