Healing of 295 Endodontic Microsurgery Cases After Long-Term (5-9 Years) Versus Middle-Term (1-4 Years) Follow-up.

Introduction: Some evidence suggests that teeth treated with endodontic surgery and considered to have healed over the short term are seen to relapse when evaluated again after 3 or more years. However, long-term evidence is limited. This study compares healing after endodontic microsurgery over long-term (5-9 years) vs middle-term (1-4 years) follow-up and assesses the influence of different healing predictors over time.

Is Healing of Periapical Surgery Influenced by Endoscopic Findings Detected on the Cut Root Surface?

Purpose: An analysis was made of the association between the endoscopic findings of the sectioned root end surface and healing of the lesion 1 year after periapical surgery, although no studies appear to have analyzed them in relation to healing after periapical surgery.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was made of patients subjected to periapical surgery between 2011 and 2019. After apicoectomy, the root end surface was examined, evaluating the number of canals, isthmuses, dentin cracks and craze lines, opaque dentin, and gaps between the filling material and the root canal wall.

Periapical Microsurgery with an Endoscope and Microscope of Two Upper Central Incisors Already Subjected to Periapical Surgery 25 Years Ago.

Introduction: The present clinical case describes periapical microsurgery with an endoscope and microscope in a patient already treated 25 years ago due to persistent periapical disease of the two central upper incisors, restored with poorly adapted crowns. . The first periapical surgery had been performed with silver amalgam as a retrograde filler material, causing grayish staining of the buccal mucosa.

Prognostic Factors after Endodontic Microsurgery: A Retrospective Study of 111 Cases with 5 to 9 Years of Follow-up.

Introduction: A study was performed of the healing rate of teeth subjected to endodontic microsurgery after a minimum follow-up of 5 years with an analysis of the influence of different pre- and postoperative factors on the outcome.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients subjected to endodontic microsurgery with the use of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) for retrograde filling between January 2011 and December 2015. In patients with multiple treated teeth, only 1 random tooth was selected for the statistical analysis.

Treatment of apicomarginal defect with periapical surgery: A case report.

An apicomarginal defect can be explained as a total loss of buccal alveolus extending from the original crestal bone to the apex of the tooth. This study presents a case of an apicomarginal defect in a first left molar subjected to periapical surgery with vestibular cortex block replacement and A-PRF + membrane coating approximately one year ago. One-year clinical follow-up was performed, with no evidence of recurrence.

The use of the endoscope in endodontic surgery: A systematic review.

Background: A systematic review of clinical studies with at least one year of follow-up was done to assess the success rate of endodontic surgery including endoscopy for magnification and illumination.

Material And Methods: Five electronic databases were searched, including MEDLINE (via PubMed), Embase, Web of Science, Scopus and the Cochrane Library of the Cochrane Collabora-tion (CENTRAL). There were no language restrictions, and the search covered the period up to October 2019.
