Clinical Associate Professor, Department of Endotontics, University of Illinois-Chigago, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between preoperative buccal plate thickness (BPT) and radiographic healing at the osteotomy site after endodontic microsurgery (EMS) with and without guided tissue regeneration (GTR) using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging.
Study Design: The retrospective sample of 143 individuals who had EMS with pre- and postoperative CBCT scans available were divided into 2 groups: group 1 (GTR) and group 2 (no GTR), which were further divided into teeth where BPT was >1.0 mm or ≤1.
