Recommendation by Literatures: 1
Termination should be to the apical constriction (Kulter et al 1955)

Recommendation by Literatures: 2
Obturating short of the radiographic apex 0.52.0 mm (Weine 1996 )
Recommendation by Literatures: 3
In presence of root and/or bone resorption should be to even shorter length. ( Walton And Torabinejad 2002 )

Considered the part of the root canal with the smallest diameter.
The reference point clinicians use most often to terminate shaping, cleaning, and obturation present less than half the time, particularly when apical root resorption was a factors .

It is the tip of the root where as determined radioghraphicaly location of the foramen not at the apex as deviations occurred in 92% of the roots.

Other Considerations
Re-treatment
It is preferable to clean the canal to the AF in retreatment !

Systemic considerations
There is no definitive evidence that introducing bacteria or antigens from infected canals into the bloodstream causes systemic diseases, it would seem prudent to avoid this situation when possible.

The importance of length control in obturation relates to extrusion of materials. Studies indicate that extrusion decreases the prognosis for complete regeneration.

Conclusions
The apical limit of instrumentation and obturation continues to be the subject of major controversy in root canal therapy. However ,the use of an apex locator in conjunction with radiographs and sound clinical judgment makes this decision
more logical.
