Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the outcome of endodontic microsurgery in 54 cases with persistent apical periodontitis.
METHODSAll surgical procedures were performed under a dental operating microscope after root canal treatment. Surgical procedures included periapical curettage, root-end resection, retropreparation with ultrasonic microtips, and root-end filling with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Healing was monitored clinically and radiographically.
RESULTSOne year later, 31 (57.41%) cases were cured, 19 (35.19%) cases were improved, 4 (7.41%) cases were failure. There were no statistical difference between sex, age, tooth location, size of the lesion and pathological features (P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe outcome of the present study indicates that endodontic microsurgery may result in a predictable treatment outcome in teeth with persistent periradicular lesions.
