      <abstract>
        <p>As the global population continues to age, addressing the nuances of healthcare for elderly individuals becomes increasingly crucial. Within the realm of dentistry, endodontic treatment, or root canal therapy, holds significant importance as it preserves natural teeth, alleviates pain, and enhances oral health. The success rates of endodontic therapy in the elderly are influenced by factors such as dentist experience, patient compliance, and case complexity. Patient satisfaction in this demographic is multifaceted, encompassing pain management, clinical success, communication, and emotional well-being. Clinical outcomes profoundly impact overall oral health and quality of life, including pain relief, infection control, and the preservation of natural dentition. While age-related changes and medical comorbidities introduce challenges, they do not inherently hinder treatment success. This review emphasizes that endodontic therapy remains a viable and effective option for elderly patients, with individualized care plans and patient-centered approaches being paramount. As the elderly population continues to grow, further research and refined practices are essential to meet their evolving dental needs effectively. Dental professionals must remain attuned to the unique challenges and priorities of elderly individuals to deliver high-quality endodontic care.&#13;
