Size determination of the apical preparation is a matter of constant debate, because despite all the available scientific evidence, a consensus hasn´t been reached in order to ascertain which is the proper diameter needed to obtain a successful treatment; regarding this, the clinician should be critical on each treatment, considering diagnosis and evaluating the anatomy of the root canal system. In this review, a search of the available literature was conducted in order to provide an approach to the dentists on their clinical procedures, considering different parameters as well as clinical implications derived from determining the size of the apical preparation, which is an important aspect in the context of biomechanical preparation
