Klein-Franke E, Youssef E, Keilig L, Bourauel C, Dörsam I. Periapical surgery and different root obturation protocols for upper central incisor: A finite elements analysis. Ann Anat 2024; 256:152325. [PMID: 39197665 DOI: 10.1016/j.aanat.2024.152325] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2024] [Revised: 08/14/2024] [Accepted: 08/23/2024] [Indexed: 09/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the effect of root canal filling using different obturation materials combined with apicoectomy in upper central incisors under loading with 1 N and 100 N. The effect of incomplete root formation was also investigated. METHODS Based on a CBCT-scan, a model of an upper central incisor was created. The model was altered to simulate different clinical situations: root canal treatment, apicoectomy at two different lengths and with different obturation protocols, and immature root formation after trauma. In each model the tooth was loaded with 1 and 100 N, and peak Von Mises stress of bone and tooth, elastic strain of the periodontal ligament, as well as rotation and displacement of the tooth were measured. RESULTS Periapical surgery increases stress in dentin and the surrounding bone. Different obturation materials only produce minor differences in a coronally intact tooth. CONCLUSIONS Interincisal angle or loading direction strongly affects all measured values and needs to be considered when planning periapical surgery or comparing finite element analysis. Immature roots show the highest stress values in this study, reaching half the yield strength of dentine.

Saiz-Pardo-Pinos AJ, Manzano-Moreno FJ, Muñoz-Soto E, González-Rodríguez MP, Romero-Olid N, Olmedo-Gaya MV. Analysis of the Prognostic Factors That Influence the Outcome of Periapical Surgery, including Biomimetic Membranes for Tissue Regeneration: A Review. Biomimetics (Basel) 2024; 9:258. [PMID: 38786468 PMCID: PMC11117633 DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics9050258] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The objective of this study was to analyze the prognostic factors that influence the outcome of periapical surgery. A systematic search of the literature was carried out using PubMed and Scopus databases between January 2000 and December 2023 with no language limitations. The PICO question of the present systematic review was: What prognostic factors may influence the outcome of periapical surgery? The most relevant randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs), prospective clinical trials, retrospective studies, and meta-analyses (n = 44) were selected from 134 articles. The reviewed literature evidenced that bone-lesion healing could significantly be improved by the absence of deep periodontal pockets (>4 mm), localization in anterior teeth, the absence of pain and/or preoperative symptoms, a size of bone lesion < 5 mm, the use of ultrasound, the correct placement of retrograde filling material, and the use of different biomimetic membranes for guided tissue regeneration (GTR). Some preoperative and intraoperative factors could significantly improve the prognosis of periapical surgery. However, these results were not conclusive, and further high-quality research is required.

Rahman A, Alam S, Zia A, Tiwari RK, Andrabi SMUN, Mahmood M. Non-surgical and guided-bone-regeneration surgical management of Type-3b dens invaginatus with an apico-marginal defect: A case report. Clin Adv Periodontics 2024. [PMID: 38491757 DOI: 10.1002/cap.10283] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2023] [Revised: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dens invaginatus (DI), an unusual developmental anomaly is a challenge for the operating dentist with regard to its diagnosis and treatment. This case report presents the successful management of a Type-3b DI in a permanent maxillary lateral incisor associated with a large radicular cyst and communicating apico-marginal defect (Von Arx type IIb). METHODS AND RESULTS A 19-year-old female patient reported pain and palatal swelling. During the clinical examination, tooth #12 exhibited tenderness to percussion, and presented a deep periodontal pocket depth (PPD) of 12 mm, along with grade I mobility. Radiographic examination revealed a large peri-radicular radiolucency with atypical tooth morphology. Cone beam computed tomography clarified the complicated root canal anatomy to be Type-3b DI associated with an apico-marginal defect. The case was managed successfully by non-surgical endodontic therapy followed by surgical intervention utilizing a guided bone regenerative (GBR) approach. Eighteen-month follow-up showed an asymptomatic and functional tooth with a significant reduction in pocket depth. The periapical radiographs showed continued healing of the osseous defect. CONCLUSIONS The successful healing outcome of a challenging case, characterized by a complex DI morphology, a large peri-radicular lesion, a through-and-through defect, and a combined endodontic-periodontal apico-marginal defect was achieved through accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and execution using contemporary endodontic and periodontal treatment techniques. The application of GBR techniques during the surgical phase of treatment may have contributed to the improved regenerative healing outcome in this case, which was initially considered prognostically questionable. KEY POINTS Why is this case new information? Type-3b DI exhibits a complex root canal structure, each case displaying unique characteristics, necessitating a case-specific treatment plan. In this case report the Type-3b DI morphology was associated with a large peri-radicular, through and through defect and combined endodontic periodontal apico-marginal defect. The treatment approach involved incorporating guided bone regenerative (GBR) principles during the surgical phase. This case report contributes to the existing evidence on the diagnosis and successful management of Type-3b DI with a concurrent apico-marginal defect. What are the keys to successful management of this case? The successful management of a prognostically challenging case was achieved through a closely integrated multidisciplinary coordination between the endodontist and periodontist. Utilization of contemporary techniques and tools contributed to the successful management The use of three-dimensional radiological examination through cone beam computed tomography enabled a precise preoperative assessment, facilitating the formulation of a treatment plan for managing both the Type-3b DI morphology and the associated peri-radicular lesion. Employing GBR techniques in peri-radicular surgery may have assisted in the healing of through-and-through periapical defects with concurrent apico-marginal defects (Von Arx type IIb). What are the primary limitations to the success of this case? A complex root canal anatomy associated with Type-3b DI morphology A large peri-radicular through and through defect with concurrent apico-marginal defect. Difficulty in weekly and long-term follow-up of the patient.

Kytridou V, Gkikas I, Garcia MN, Cepeda O, Hildebolt CF. A literature review of local and systemic considerations for endodontic treatments in older adults. Gerodontology 2023; 40:410-421. [PMID: 36971290 DOI: 10.1111/ger.12679] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 12/09/2022] [Accepted: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this literature review was to summarise the clinical important findings on the endodontic treatment outcome in older patients (≥60 years old) with pulpal/periapical disease considering local and systemic factors from a body of knowledge that is heterogeneous in methods or disciplines. BACKGROUND Due to the increasing number of older patients in the endodontic practice, and the current trend for tooth preservation, the need for clinicians to have a better understanding of age-related implications that may influence the required endodontic treatment in older adults to retain their natural dentition is indispensable. METHODS PubMed/Medline and Embase was searched by a medical librarian using specific terms based on inclusion/exclusion criteria. The reference list was hand-seached for additional relevant publications between 2005-2020. A combination of these terms was performed uing Boolean operators and MeSH terms. RESULTS Of the 1577 publications identified manually and electronically, 25 were included to be fully reviewed by the examiners. The data was derived from three systematic reviews, one systematic and meta-analysis, three case series, four prospective and 14 retrospective cohorts. Overall, there was heterogeneity in reporting as well as limitations in most studies. CONCLUSIONS The outcome of endodontic treatment (ET) either nonsurgical or surgical or combination of these is not affected by older age. ET can be the treatment of choice in older patients wiht pulpal/periapical disease. There is no evidence that older age per se affects the outcome of any type of endodontic treatment.

Abstract
Surgical endodontic treatment encompasses a broad spectrum of procedures, amongst which root-end cavity preparation and filling, retrograde root canal treatment and through-and-through endodontic surgery, may be classified under the umbrella term 'Root-end surgery'. This narrative review considers the available data on periapical healing, soft tissue healing, tooth survival and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), following root-end surgery and the factors that affect its outcomes. The pooled periapical healed rate for the studies published up to 2021 was 69% (95% CI: 65%, 73%) but increased to 76% (95% CI: 66%, 86%) when only data from the 2020's studies were analysed. The prognostic factors consistently reported for periapical healing have included: pre-operative periapical lesion with complete loss of buccal plate, quality of root-end preparation, remaining thickness of apical root dentine and restorative status. Soft tissue healing of the reflected flap was found to have a positive association with periapical healing. The survival rates following root-end surgery range from 48% to 93%, with failure of periapical healing associated with root and crown fracture, being the predominant reasons for tooth extraction. The factors influencing impact of root-end surgery on patients' quality of life could not be adequately evaluated due to design flaws in the available studies. In conclusion, if root canal treatment failure due to leakage through cracks, fractures or restoration margin are excluded, the remaining cases may represent localized residual infection and inflammation at the periapex that should be amenable to predictable management with the aid of modern root-end surgery.

Int Endod J 2022; 55:811-832. [PMID: 35553439 DOI: 10.1111/iej.13763] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Accepted: 05/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence-informed decision-making in healthcare relies on the translation of research results to everyday clinical practice. A fundamental requirement is that the validity of any healthcare intervention must be supported by the resultant favourable treatment outcome. Unfortunately, differences in study design and the outcome measures evaluated often make it challenging to synthesise the available research evidence required for secondary research analysis and guideline development. Core outcome sets (COS) are defined as an agreed standardised set of outcomes which should be measured and reported as a minimum in all clinical trials on a specific topic. The benefits of COS include less heterogeneity, a reduction in the risk of reporting bias, ensuring all trials contribute data to facilitate meta-analyses, and given the engagement of key stakeholders, it also increases the chances that clinically-relevant outcomes are identified. The recognition of the need for COS for assessing endodontic treatment outcomes lead to the development of Core Outcome Sets for Endodontic Treatment modalities (COSET) protocol, which is registered (No. 1879) on the Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET) website. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this scoping review are to: (1) identify the outcomes assessed in studies evaluating surgical endodontic procedures; (2) report on the method of assessment used to measure the outcomes; (3) and assess selective reporting bias in the included studies. The data obtained will be used to inform the development of COS for surgical endodontics. METHODS A structured literature search of electronic databases and the grey literature was conducted to identify systematic reviews on periradicular surgery (PS), intentional replantation (IR) and tooth/root resection (RR), published between January 1990 and December 2020. Two independent reviewers were involved in the literature selection, data extraction and the appraisal of the studies identified. The type of intervention, outcomes measured, type of outcomes reported (clinician- or patient-reported), outcome measurement method, and follow-up period, were recorded using a standardised form. RESULTS Twenty-six systematic reviews consisting of 19 studies for PS, three studies for IR and four studies for RR were selected for inclusion. Outcome measures identified for PS and IR included pain, swelling, mobility and tenderness, outcomes related to periodontal/soft tissue healing (including sinus tract), periradicular healing, tooth survival, life impact (including Oral-Health-Related-Quality-of-Life), resource use and/or adverse effects. For RR, in addition to tooth survival, endodontic complications, and adverse effects, the outcome measures were primarily periodontal-related, including pocket depth reduction, attachment gain, periodontal disease, and periodontic-endodontic lesions. The majority of outcome measures for PS, IR, and RR were assessed clinically, radiologically and/or via patient history. Specific tools such as rating scales (Visual Analog Scale, Verbal rating Scale, Numerical Rating Scale, and other scales) were used for the assessment of pain, swelling, and tenderness, and validated questionnaires were used for the assessment of oral health-related quality of life. The range of follow-up periods were variable, dependent on the outcome measure and the type of intervention. CONCLUSIONS Outcome measures, method of assessment and follow-up periods for PS, IR and RR were identified and categorised to help standardise the reporting of outcomes for future research studies. Additional outcome measures that were not reported, but may be considered in the COSET consensus process include loss of root-end filling material, number of clinic visits, surgery-related dental anxiety and muco-gingival aesthetic-related measures, such as scarring, black triangles, root surface exposure, and tissue discolouration.

Prognostic Factors in Endodontic Surgery Using an Endoscope: A 1 Year Retrospective Cohort Study. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15093353. [PMID: 35591687 PMCID: PMC9103390 DOI: 10.3390/ma15093353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2022] [Revised: 04/22/2022] [Accepted: 05/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
This retrospective study clarified the success rate of endoscopic endodontic surgeries and identified predictors accounting for successful surgeries. In this retrospective study, 242 patients (90 males, 152 females) who underwent endoscopic endodontic surgery at a single general hospital and were diagnosed through follow-up one year later were included. Risk factors were categorized into attributes, general health, anatomy, and surgery. Then, the correlation coefficient was calculated for the success or failure of endodontic surgery for each variable, the odds ratio was calculated for the upper variable, and factors related to the surgical prognosis factor were identified. The success rate of endodontic surgery was 95.3%, showing that it was a highly predictable treatment. The top three correlation coefficients were post, age, and perilesional sclerotic signs. Among them, the presence of posts was the highest, compared with the odds ratio, which was 9.592. This retrospective study revealed the success rate and risk factors accounting for endoscopic endodontic surgeries. Among the selected clinical variables, the presence of posts was the most decisive risk factor determining the success of endodontic surgeries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is being used in endodontics to improve orthograde root canal disinfection as an adjunct to standard treatments. Conversely, evidence concerning the application of aPDT in retrograde endodontic surgery is limited. Thus, the aim of the present study was to provide additional data regarding the use of aPDT in the surgical endodontic treatment of periapical lesions. METHODS A total of 25 consecutive patients presenting teeth with periapical radiolucency eventually associated with clinical signs and symptoms of apical periodontitis were included. Following access flap completion, osteotomy, mechanical debridement, root apical third resection, and preparation of the root-end cavity, aPDT was applied to decontaminate the surgical site using phenothiazine chloride dye at a concentration of 10 mg/mL and irradiation with a hand-held 100-mW diode laser with a wavelength of 660 ± 10 nm. At the latest follow-up visit, healing was evaluated as successful, uncertain, or failure according to well-established clinical and radiological criteria. RESULTS Overall, 31 periapical lesions were treated with aPDT. Healing proceeded uneventfully. The mean follow-up time was 36.19 months, with times ranging from 12 to 85 months. A total of 25 (80.65%) cases were classified as successful, 5 (16.13%) as uncertain, and only one (3.22%) as failure. Irrespective of the treatment outcome, all treated teeth were still functional, with no symptoms reported by the patients. CONCLUSION aPDT as an adjunctive treatment modality in the surgical endodontic treatment of periapical lesions showed promising medium-term results associated with preservation of all diseased teeth.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate unsuccessful endodontic surgery cases for possible causes for treatment failure and evaluate if a nonsurgical retreatment (NSRTX) approach could have been a better alternative to resurgery. METHODS Analyses of clinical and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, periapical radiographs, and chart documentation determined study parameters. Preoperative factors were age, sex, tooth type, signs and/or symptoms, presence of periapical radiolucency, previous root canal treatment, timeline since previous endodontic surgery, presence of posts, cores, and restorations. The intra-operative factors were microsurgical classification, previous techniques, and current techniques utilized. Postoperative factors were signs and/or symptoms, time to follow-up, and healing status. The accessibility of the root canal system and the quality of the existing root filling were used to evaluate NSRTX as an alternative to resurgery. RESULTS A total of 1073 surgical cases from 2011-2019 were reviewed. In 14 patients, 20 cases matched the inclusion criteria and allowed for data extraction. The mean time since the previous surgery was 2.9+-2.1 years, with a mean follow-up of 9.1+-5.8 months after the resurgery. Possible reasons for failure identified were: insufficient root-end filling (leaking, off-axis preparation, lack of depth, overfill) n=12/20, 60.0%; missed anatomy (main and lateral canals, isthmus) n=9/20, 45.0%; incomplete resection n=6/20, 30.0%. In 18/20 cases (90.0%), resurgery appeared to be indicated for 2/20 cases (10.0%). Therefore, NSRTX may have been a potential alternative. CONCLUSION Further evidence for possible causes of failure of endodontic surgery was provided, which were primarily iatrogenic. The evaluation of CBCT and high magnification intra-operative images proved beneficial for identifying critical issues for all investigated cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Root canal therapy is a sequence of treatments involving root canal cleaning, shaping, decontamination, and obturation. It is conventionally performed through a hole drilled into the crown of the affected tooth, namely orthograde root canal therapy. When it fails, retrograde filling, which seals the root canal from the root apex, is a good alternative. Many materials are used for retrograde filling. Since none meets all the criteria an ideal material should possess, selecting the most efficacious material is of utmost importance. This is an update of a Cochrane Review first published in 2016. OBJECTIVES To determine the effects of different materials used for retrograde filling in children and adults for whom retrograde filling is necessary in order to save the tooth. SEARCH METHODS An Information Specialist searched five bibliographic databases up to 21 April 2021 and used additional search methods to identify published, unpublished, and ongoing studies. We also searched four databases in the Chinese language. SELECTION CRITERIA We selected randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that compared different retrograde filling materials, with the reported success rate that was assessed by clinical or radiological methods for which the follow-up period was at least 12 months. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Records were screened in duplicate by independent screeners. Two review authors extracted data independently and in duplicate. Original trial authors were contacted for any missing information. Two review authors independently assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. We followed Cochrane's statistical guidelines and assessed the certainty of the evidence using GRADE. MAIN RESULTS We included eight studies, all at high risk of bias, involving 1399 participants with 1471 teeth, published between 1995 and 2019, and six comparisons of retrograde filling materials. - Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) versus intermediate restorative material (IRM): there may be little to no effect of MTA compared to IRM on success rate at one year, but the evidence is very uncertain (risk ratio (RR) 1.09, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.97 to 1.22; I2 = 0%; 2 studies; 222 teeth; very low-certainty evidence). - MTA versus super ethoxybenzoic acid (Super-EBA): there may be little to no effect of MTA compared to Super-EBA on success rate at one year, but the evidence is very uncertain (RR 1.03, 95% CI 0.96 to 1.10; 1 study; 192 teeth; very low-certainty evidence). - Super-EBA versus IRM: the evidence is very uncertain about the effect of Super-EBA compared with IRM on success rate at 1 year, with results indicating Super-EBA may reduce or have no effect on success rate (RR 0.90, 95% CI 0.80 to 1.01; 1 study; 194 teeth; very low-certainty evidence). - Dentine-bonded resin composite versus glass ionomer cement: compared to glass ionomer cement, dentine-bonded resin composite may increase the success rate of the treatment at 1 year, but the evidence is very uncertain (RR 2.39, 95% CI 1.60 to 3.59; 1 study; 122 teeth; very low-certainty evidence). Same result was obtained when considering the root as unit of analysis at one year (RR 1.59, 95% CI 1.20 to 2.09; 1 study; 127 roots; very low-certainty evidence). - Glass ionomer cement versus amalgam: the evidence is very uncertain about the effect of glass ionomer cement compared with amalgam on success rate at one year, with results indicating glass ionomer cement may reduce or have no effect on success rate (RR 0.98, 95% CI 0.86 to 1.12; 1 study; 105 teeth; very low-certainty evidence). - MTA versus root repair material (RRM): there may be little to no effect of MTA compared to RRM on success rate at one year, but the evidence is very uncertain (RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.94 to 1.07; I2 = 0%; 2 studies; 278 teeth; very low-certainty evidence). Adverse events were not assessed by any of the included studies. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Based on the present limited evidence, there is insufficient evidence to draw any conclusion as to the benefits of any one material over another for retrograde filling in root canal therapy. We conclude that more high-quality RCTs are required.

Outcome of Periapical Surgery in Molars: A Retrospective Analysis of 424 Teeth. J Endod 2021; 47:1703-1714. [PMID: 34499889 DOI: 10.1016/j.joen.2021.08.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2021] [Revised: 08/28/2021] [Accepted: 08/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of this retrospective study was to assess the outcome of periapical surgery in a large number of molars in order to identify possible variables that might affect the outcome. METHODS The healing outcome of patients undergoing periapical surgery of molars from October 1999 to October 2019 was retrospectively evaluated. Outcome was dichotomized into "healed" and "nonhealed" using well-established clinical and radiographic healing criteria. The potential influence of patient-, tooth-, and treatment-related parameters on the healing outcome was analyzed. RESULTS A total of 424 molars in the same number of patients (45.5% male and 54.5% female) were evaluated. Three hundred seventy-two molars were classified as healed (87.7%). Three significant outcome predictors were identified: 1-year follow-up versus >1-5 years, >5-10 years, and >10 years (95.3% vs 82.2%, 76.3%, and 76.5% healed, respectively; P < .0001); root end filling material with bioceramic root repair material versus mineral trioxide aggregate (96.9% vs. 86.3% healed, respectively; P = .001); and preoperative evaluation based on cone-beam computed tomographic imaging versus 2-dimensional radiography (90.2% vs 81.4% healed, respectively; P = .02). Sex, age, tooth location, type of restoration, attachment level, presence of a post, quality of the root canal filling, technique of root end preparation, administration of antibiotics, and type of surgery had no significant impact on the healing outcome. CONCLUSIONS The healed rate for the concave (Retroplast) and cavity (mineral trioxide aggregate, SuperEBA [Staident International, Staines, UK], and bioceramic root repair material) root end preparation technique over all follow-up periods was 84% and 88.5%, respectively. The follow-up period, root end filling material, and preoperative evaluation based on cone-beam computed tomographic imaging had a significant influence on the healing outcome.

J Endod 2021; 47:1625-1630. [PMID: 34252474 DOI: 10.1016/j.joen.2021.07.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2021] [Revised: 06/08/2021] [Accepted: 07/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the clinical and histological differences in wound healing between beveled and perpendicular vertical releasing incisions in dogs. MATERIAL AND METHODS Four male mongrel dogs were used in this investigation. In each quadrant, a vertical releasing incision was made on either the mesial or the distal aspect of the cuspid teeth of each animal all on the same day. The sites were randomly selected to either receive a beveled incision or a perpendicular incision. A sulcular muco-periosteal flap was raised, reapproximated, and then sutured using 3-0 Vicryl. The animals were evaluated daily for the first week, and then at different time intervals during this investigation. One animal was killed at each time interval of 9, 14, 21, and 28 days after surgery. One animal was killed at each time interval, and a bone block consisting of the cuspid teeth and their surrounding bone and soft tissues was harvested, formalin fixed, and paraffin embedded. Samples were sectioned serially and stained with hematoxylin-eosin. Specimens were evaluated using a microscope with magnification ranging from ×10 to ×400 by a histopathologist. Four indices were used for histologic evaluation. RESULTS At day 9 after surgery, a visible groove was seen in the marginal tissues of both perpendicular and beveled incisions. At day 9, both of the histologic sections showed less organized connective tissue and capillary networks with no significant difference in inflammation. In the 14-day samples, a depression was still present at the perpendicular incision sites, but not in the beveled incision group, where the groove was not visualized at all. In the 21- and 28-day samples, irregular capillary arrangements were seen in the connective tissue of the perpendicular incision groups with completely healed epithelium. There were no statistically significant differences noted histologically between the beveled and perpendicular incision groups noted at 9, 14, 21, or 28 days (P > .05). CONCLUSION Based on these findings, it appears that clinical and histologic healing of beveled or perpendicular releasing incisions are similar 28 days after surgery.

Microsurgical endodontic treatment of the upper molar teeth and their relationship with the maxillary sinus: a retrospective multicentric clinical study. BMC Oral Health 2021; 21:252. [PMID: 33980213 PMCID: PMC8114693 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-021-01610-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2021] [Accepted: 04/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the clinical and radiographic success rate of microsurgical endodontic treatment of upper molar teeth in relationship with the maxillary sinus, with 12 months follow-up. METHODS Patients treated with microsurgical endodontic treatment of upper molar teeth in the period between 2017 and 2019 were recruited from two dental clinics according to specific selection criteria. The outcomes were determined based on clinical and radiographic results taken three, six and 12 months post-operatively, compared with those taken immediately before and after surgery. Clinical and radiographic outcomes were recorded. The distance between the most apical part of the root and of the lesion to the maxillary sinus was measured on CBCT images before the surgery. Patient-related outcomes were recorded. RESULTS Out of 35 patients evaluated, 21 were selected according with the selection criteria for a total of 27 roots and 29 canals treated. After 12 months, 18 patients showed a complete healing whereas three demonstrated incomplete healing. Consequently, the success rate in this study was 85.7% after one year. In 28.5% (6 patients) there was a perforation of the Schneiderian membrane that didn't seem to affect the outcome. All patients kept the molar one year later. The pain level decreased significantly over the time during the first week after surgery. CONCLUSION Microsurgical Endodontic treatment of the upper molar teeth should be considered a valid and predictable treatment option even in case of Schneiderian membrane perforation. Future clinical studies with a larger sample size are needed to compare the results obtained.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate whether periapical surgery affects oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) within the first postoperative week. Study design The primary outcomes in 133 patients (54 men, 79 women; mean age 50.8 years) undergoing periapical surgery were the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) score and postoperative sequelae, including pain, analgesic intake, swelling, limited mouth opening, chewing difficulties, and postoperative infection. Results We found a significant effect on OHIP-14, pain, and analgesics, which decreased throughout the week. We found no significant differences in mean OHIP-14, pain scores, or analgesic use for gender, medical history, surgical flaps, operation time, or location of the operated teeth. Younger patients had a higher OHIP-14 score in the first 2 days after surgery and more pain on the first postoperative day. Women experienced more pain during the first 3 days. Smokers had a higher OHIP-14 score on the first postoperative day and greater pain during the first 3 days compared to non-smokers. Conclusion We identified a low incidence of pain and reduced OHRQoL following periapical surgery. The postoperative reduction in OHRQoL and pain were of short duration, with maximum intensity in the early postoperative period and rapidly decreasing with time.

Abstract
Although conventional endodontic procedures are very successful, failure of the initial treatment can occur. Consideration for surgical treatment versus endodontic retreatment needs to be part of the decision along with thoughts of extraction with implant replacement. Apical surgery can preserve many teeth that remain symptomatic after conventional endodontic treatment especially because endodontic failure can occur after 1 year, usually after a definitive restoration is placed. This article reviews current indications for periapical surgery and discusses factors that can predict successful outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the current study was the retrospective analysis of the outcomes of teeth treated with apical surgery after a 1-year follow-up period. Furthermore, potential factors associated with the success rate were investigated. METHODS All patients were treated at the Clinic of Cranio-Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery at the University of Zurich between 2010 and 2017. To be eligible for inclusion, all patients were required to have undergone apical surgery with a retrograde root-end filling, and a 1-year follow-up examination at the University of Zurich. Treatment success at the 1-year follow-up time-point was defined as an absence of clinical complaints and radiographically determined healing. Parameters that were analysed included tooth localisation, periapical index of the preoperative lesion, administration of antibiotics, smoker status, histopathology of the apical lesion, radiographically determined sufficiency of root canal treatment pain and clinical signs of inflammation at the initial examination. RESULTS A total of 81 teeth fulfilled all the inclusion criteria. At the 1-year follow-up, 91.4% of the teeth exhibited successful clinical and radiographic healing. The type of tooth was significantly associated with the success of the surgery (p = 0.006), but radiological severity of periapical inflammation, lesion histopathology, administration of antibiotics, smoker status, the quality of the root canal treatment, and preoperative pain and clinical signs of inflammation were not. CONCLUSION The results of the present study suggest that apical surgery with retrograde root-end filling is a reliable therapy for the preservation of teeth. Furthermore, there are limited factors that affect the treatment outcome.

Abstract
Introduction: The aim of the study was to investigate possible predictive factors influencing the long-term success of root tip resection. Methods: The retrospective study included 216 patients (♂ 111, ♀ 106, median age 43.3 years). A total of 261 root tip resections were performed on these patients between 1989 and 2012. In addition to determining the success rates 5 and 10 years postoperatively, the factors gender, age, tooth type, use of bone replacement material and preoperative periodontal tooth status were examined with regard to their significance for the long-term prognosis of root tip resected teeth. Results: The evaluation showed an average success rate of 63.6% for all included teeth over the entire observation period (tooth at least one year postoperatively still in situ). The 5-year success rate was 78.2%, the 10-year success rate 63.1%. A dependence of the success rates on the tooth type could not be evaluated. However, the examination showed a clear dependence of the success on the age of the patients. Root tip resections in patients in the age group 60 years and older had significantly worse success rates compared to the age groups 20 to 39 years and 40 to 59 years. The prognosis was also significantly better for patients in the age group 20 to 39 years than for patients in the age group 40 to 59 years. Periodontally compromised teeth showed only a tendency for a poorer prognosis than periodontally healthy teeth. With regard to sex and intraoperative filling of the resection defect with bone replacement material, no differences in the success rates were found. Conclusions: A root tip resection is a good option, largely independent of the type of tooth, to preserve a tooth in the medium to long term after unsuccessful endodontic treatment. However, a revision of the endodontic treatment or even an extraction with subsequent implantation should always be considered as an alternative, especially with increasing age.

Abstract
Objetivo: caracterizar la enfermedad periapical posterior al tratamiento endodóntico primario realizado en una cohorte de individuos asistentes a las clínicas de la Especialidad en Endodoncia de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia. Métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional retrospectivo en una muestra de 232 dientes con tratamiento endodóntico primario, procedentes de 155 individuos. Un análisis de frecuencia estimó la prevalencia entre la presencia de enfermedad periapical y las siguientes covariables: sexo, edad, tipo y localización del diente, diagnóstico previo, condiciones del tratamiento endodóntico, y tipo de restauración. Resultados: se registró un 24% de prevalencia de enfermedad periapical en la población observada. De este porcentaje, el 13,7% fue categorizado como EPE y el 10,3% fue categorizado como EPP. La distribución por sexo fue de 59% para mujeres y 41% para hombres, con promedio de edad de 55,8 años. La prevalencia de la enfermedad fue mayor en molares (44%) y el diagnóstico pulpar más frecuente fue necrosis pulpar (34%). El 20% de los tratamientos analizados presentó longitud de obturación corta y, de ellos, el 54,3% se asoció con aparición de la enfermedad. Conclusiones: la longitud de obturación corta resultó ser el factor que registró mayor relación clínica con la aparición de la enfermedad. Se reconoce a la EPE como el verdadero fracaso del tratamiento endodóntico primario.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate of the patients who underwent apical resection. Besides assess the classification of resection side, localization, lesion size, approximation of anatomic structures and the purpose of the apical surgery retrospectively. Material and Methods In this stutdy 782 patients and 1191 apical resection applied tooth evaluated. 504 of the patients were famale and 278 were male. Patients age was between 13 and 76 years old and operated between January 2016 and January 2017. The study includes incisor, canine and premolar teeth which had the apical resection as the first time. Operation side evaluated from orthopantomograph and periapical radiographs. Results There were 1191 teeth operated and 966 of them in maxilla and 225 of them in mandible. The number of the incisor teeth were 871, 177 were canine, 129 were premolar and one of them was molar. The total amount of 468 patients had operated by just 1 tooth, 454 of the operated teeth had cyst on the operation side. Premolar and molar side 21 of the 93 lesion had approximation with maxillar sinus. On the other hand in maxilla 39 of 569 lesion had approximation with nasal cavity. In mandibula 1 of the 15 lesion, which involved mandibular premolar teeth, had approximation with mental foramen. Conclusions Apical resection operation mostly done for one tooth, and the lesion size was less than 10 milimeters. Furthermore apical resection mostly done for incisors cause of odontogenic cyst. Key words:Apical resection, gender, maxillary sinus, mental foramen, odontogenic cyst.

Abstract
Chronic periapical lesions in necrotic teeth with open apex are difficult to manage. The situation becomes more complex if the tooth has a fracture line. This case report describes the management of a traumatised tooth that had already undergone unsuccessful endodontic treatment with a large periapical lesion and open apex along with a fracture line in the root. An attempt was made to save the tooth by using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) cement for orthograde filling, retrograde filling and also for sealing of the fracture line. Moreover, the bone defect was filled with autogenous bone harvested from the external oblique ridge. MTA, a bioactive tricalcium silicate cement, has been used in treating complex endodontic cases as it shows promising potential by inducing the biological mechanisms necessary for repair of involved teeth. A 1-year follow-up showed progressive healing as evident by radiographs and lack of any clinical signs and symptoms.

Long-term survival of teeth in the posterior region after apical surgery. J Craniomaxillofac Surg 2018; 46:1934-1938. [PMID: 30249486 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcms.2018.08.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2018] [Revised: 07/08/2018] [Accepted: 08/08/2018] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Oftentimes the discussion of long-term success rates and treatment modalities becomes a central issue in consultations with patients. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate survival rates of teeth after apicoectomy in an established private practice for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in Kiel, Germany. All teeth treated with apicoectomy between 2001 and 2006 were included. Treatment success was previously defined as preservation of the tooth. Putative influence factors on success as kind and quality of endodontic treatment, additional intraoperative endodontic filling, inflammatory status, tooth mobility, and pre- and postoperative X-rays were further evaluated. A total of 149 teeth could be included. The mean observation period was 6.3 (SD: 4.4) years. In all, 48.3% of these teeth could be retained after a 10-year period. Teeth that received an additional retrograde root canal filling during surgery resulted in a significantly higher success rate (p = 0.0237) compared to those with orthograde root canal fillings or without additional endodontic treatment. The quality of endodontic treatment had no impact (p = 0.125). Our results suggest that apical surgery is a reliable procedure to treat and ensure the survival of symptomatic teeth in the posterior region for several years. A significant improvement was further determined for a retrograde filling.

Abstract
To compare the effects of different chelating agents on the push-out bond strength of calcium silicate-based cements to the simulated root-end cavities. Root-end cavities were prepared on the roots of fifty extracted maxillary anterior teeth. The specimens were then randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 10) based on the final irrigation regimen: Group 1: 17% EDTA, Group 2: 7% maleic acid, Group 3: QMix, Group 4: 2.25% peracetic acid (PAA), Group 5: 0.9% saline. Then, the samples from each group were subdivided into two groups (n = 5) based on the apical filling material. In group 1, root-end cavities of all samples were filled with Biodentine and in group 2, with MTA. Each sample was horizontally sectioned to produce two discs of ∼1 mm thick per specimen. The maximum load required for the dislodgement of 100 retrofillings was recorded. The specimens were examined under scanning electron microscope after debonding to assess the type of bond failure. Data were statistically analyzed using Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney U tests. Irrigation with saline resulted in higher bond strength compared to the other irrigants in the retrograde cavities obturated with MTA or Biodentine (p < .05). In MTA group, there was no significant difference between the test irrigants (p > .05). EDTA and PAA groups showed higher dislodgement resistance values than the other test irrigants, when Biodentine was used as a filling. The type of irrigation solution influences the bond strength of the root-end fillings.

Abstract
Increased use of the surgical operating microscope in endodontic surgery has elucidated many shortcomings of previous techniques and along with microsurgical instruments and new more biologically acceptable root-end filling materials has started the new microsurgical era in surgical endodontics. Endodontic microsurgery is a minimally invasive technique that results in less postoperative pain and edema and faster wound healing. It offers a significantly higher success rate than traditional apical surgery technique. The components, key concepts and procedural steps of endodontic microsurgery as well as the prognosis and predictability of modern root-end procedures are presented in this review.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Root canal therapy is a sequence of treatments involving root canal cleaning, shaping, decontamination and obturation. It is conventionally performed through a hole drilled into the crown of the affected tooth, namely orthograde root canal therapy. For teeth that cannot be treated with orthograde root canal therapy, or for which it has failed, retrograde root filling, which seals the root canal from the root apex, is a good alternative. Many materials, such as amalgam, zinc oxide eugenol and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), are generally used. Since none meets all the criteria an ideal material should possess, selecting the most efficacious material is of utmost importance. OBJECTIVES To determine the effects of different materials used for retrograde filling in children and adults for whom retrograde filling is necessary in order to save the tooth. SEARCH METHODS Cochrane Oral Health's Information Specialist searched the following databases: Cochrane Oral Health's Trials Register (to 13 September 2016); the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL; 2016, Issue 8) in the Cochrane Library (searched 13 September 2016); MEDLINE Ovid (1946 to 13 September 2016); Embase Ovid (1980 to 13 September 2016); LILACS BIREME Virtual Health Library (1982 to 13 September 2016); and OpenSIGLE (1980 to 2005). ClinicalTrials.gov and the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform were searched for ongoing trials. We also searched Chinese BioMedical Literature Database (in Chinese, 1978 to 20 September 2016); VIP (in Chinese, 1989 to 20 September 2016); China National Knowledge Infrastructure (in Chinese, 1994 to 20 September 2016); and Sciencepaper Online (in Chinese, to 20 September 2016). No restrictions were placed on the language or date of publication when searching the electronic databases. SELECTION CRITERIA We selected randomised controlled trials (RCTs) only that compared different retrograde filling materials, with reported success rate that was assessed by clinical or radiological methods for which the follow-up period was at least 12 months. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors extracted data independently and in duplicate. Original trial authors were contacted for any missing information. Two review authors independently carried out risk of bias assessments for each eligible study following Cochrane methodological guidelines. MAIN RESULTS We included six studies (916 participants with 988 teeth) reported in English. All the studies had high risk of bias. The six studies examined five different comparisons, including MTA versus intermediate restorative material (IRM), MTA versus super ethoxybenzoic acid cement (Super-EBA), Super-EBA versus IRM, dentine-bonded resin composite versus glass ionomer cement and glass ionomer cement versus amalgam. There was therefore little pooling of data and very little evidence for each comparison.There is weak evidence of little or no difference between MTA and IRM at the first year of follow-up (risk ratio (RR) 1.09; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.97 to 1.22; 222 teeth; quality of evidence: low). Insufficient evidence of a difference between MTA and IRM on success rate at the second year of follow-up (RR 1.06; 95% CI: 0.89 to 1.25; 86 teeth, 86 participants; quality of evidence: very low). All the other outcomes were based on a single study. There is insufficient evidence of any difference between MTA and Super-EBA at the one-year follow-up (RR 1.03; 95% CI: 0.96 to 1.10; 192 teeth, 192 participants; quality of evidence: very low), and only weak evidence indicating there might be a small increase in success rate at the one-year follow-up in favour of IRM compared to Super-EBA (RR 0.90; 95% CI: 0.80 to 1.01; 194 teeth; quality of evidence: very low). There was also insufficient and weak evidence to show that dentine-bonded resin composite might be a better choice for increasing retrograde filling success rate compared to glass ionomer cement at the one-year follow-up (RR 2.39; 95% CI: 1.60 to 3.59; 122 teeth, 122 participants; quality of evidence: very low). And there was insufficient evidence of a difference between glass ionomer cement and amalgam at both the one-year (RR 0.98; 95% CI: 0.86 to 1.12; 105 teeth; quality of evidence: very low) and five-year follow-ups (RR 1.00; 95% CI: 0.84 to 1.20; 82 teeth; quality of evidence: very low).None of these studies reported an adverse event. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Based on the present limited evidence, there is insufficient evidence to draw any conclusion as to the benefits of any one material over another. We conclude that more high-quality RCTs are required.

Abstract
The present study was designed to investigate the relationships between clinicopathological findings and the resorptive conditions of root apices of teeth with periodontitis. The samples included 21 root apices with large periapical radiolucent lesions. The preoperative computed tomography (CT) and intraoperative findings were correlated with the presence, extension, and the progression pattern of periapical resorption using a scanning electron microscope. The subjects' age, gender, chief complaint, type of tooth, percussion test results, size of periapical lesion using CT, and intraoperative findings were recorded. All apicoectomies were performed under an operative microscope for endodontic microsurgery. A significant large size was observed in cystic lesions compared with granulomatous lesions. The cementum surface at the periphery of the lesion was covered with globular structures (2-3 μm in diameter). Cementum resorption started as small defect formations at the surface. As the defect formation progressed, a lamellar structure appeared at the resorption area, and the size of globular structures became smaller than that of globules at the surface. Further resorption produced typical lacuna formation, which was particularly observed in fracture cases. The most morphologically severe destructive pattern of dentin resorption was observed in large cystic lesions. This study is the first report to elucidate the relationships between three clinical types of undesirable periapical lesions: (1) undertreatment, (2) periapical fracture, (3) macro-level resorption, and the microstructure of external root resorption including from small defects at the cementum surface to a significant destructive pattern inside the dentin.

Abstract
AIM To determine the histology of persistent periapical lesions associated with nonsurgical endodontic treatment failures and to compare radiographically the sizes of periapical lesions and the presence or absence of the radiopaque lamina with the histological findings. METHODOLOGY Ninety-three anterior teeth designated for apical microsurgery were included in the study. After taking standard radiographs of all cases using the parallel technique, the films were scanned and evaluated for the size of periapical radiolucent lesions and the presence or absence of radiopaque lamina by two calibrated observers. Biopsy specimens were obtained during apical microsurgery and examined under light microscopy by oral pathologists. Histological analysis established diagnoses of granuloma, cyst, abscess and scar tissue. Interobserver agreement was evaluated by the kappa test, and the relationship between histological diagnosis and lesion size was analysed by the Pearson's chi-square test. RESULTS The 93 specimens consisted of 72% periradicular granulomas; 21.5% radicular cysts, including two keratocysts; 4.3% abscesses; and 2.2% scar tissue. Cystic prevalence increased as the size of the periapical lesion increased; however, there was no correlation between the presence of a radiopaque lamina and histological diagnosis of cyst. CONCLUSIONS Neither radiographic size nor presence of an associated radiopaque line alone was sufficient to determine the type of lesion. Histological examination is required in order to reach to a definitive diagnosis.

Abstract
The aim was to evaluate treatment outcomes after apicoectomy and apexification in adjacent non-vital maxillary central incisors with large periapical radiolucencies, in a 10-year-old boy. The patient had complained of tenderness in the upper central incisors on mastication and gave a history of trauma to those teeth three years ago. On examination, there were found to be non-vital. Apexification (using Metapex) and apicoectomy (obturation with gutta percha) were performed on 11 and 21, respectively. Radiographical observations were made six months, one year and two years, post-operatively. Apical repair was found to be more favorable after apicoectomy than apexification, for a non-vital maxillary central incisor with an open apex and large periapical radiolucency.

Abstract
Introduction: The present study is designed to assess the apical seal obtained after root end cavity irrigation with MTAD and retrograde filling with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine. Materials and Methods: Sixty extracted maxillary central incisors were instrumented and obturated. Apical 3 mm of all the roots were resected and retrograde preparations of 3 mm were made in all the teeth using ultrasonic tips. Thirty root end preparations were irrigated with MTAD for 5 min (Group 1), while 30 were irrigated with saline for 5 min (Group 2). Each main group was subdivided into two subgroups containing 15 samples each. Samples under each subgroup were then filled either with MTA (1A and 2A) or Biodentine (1B and 2B). The amount of microleakage was assessed using a UV spectrophotometer. Results: Statistical analysis suggest a significant difference (P < 0.005) between group 1A and 2A and between the groups 1B and 2B (P < 0.1). There was a significant difference (P < 0.005) between group 1A and 1B and also between group 2A and 2B. Conclusion: Irrigation with MTAD significantly improved the apical seal of Biodentine, but it increased the microleakage in MTA-filled root end cavities. Also the apical seal obtained with Biodentine was superior to that obtained with MTA.

Biotechnol Adv 2014; 33:203-213. [PMID: 25447423 DOI: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2014.10.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2014] [Revised: 10/07/2014] [Accepted: 10/31/2014] [Indexed: 01/30/2023]
Abstract
The presence/persistence of microorganisms in the pulp and periapical area corresponds to the maintenance of an exacerbated immune response that leads to the start of periradicular bone resorption and its perpetuation. In endodontic treatment, the available intracanal medications do not have all the desirable properties in the context of endodontic infection and apical periodontitis; they need to include not only strong antimicrobial performance but also an immunomodulatory and reparative activity, without host damage. In addition, there are various levels of resistance to root canal medications. Thus, antimicrobial agents that effectively eliminate resistant species in root canals could potentially improve endodontic treatment. In the emergence of new therapies, an increasing number of studies on antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been seen over the past few years. AMPs are defense biomolecules produced in response to infection, and they have a wide spectrum of action against many oral microorganisms. There are some studies that correlate peptides and oral infections, including oral peptides, neuropeptides, and bacterial, fish, bovine and synthetic peptides. So far, there are around 120 published studies correlating endodontic microbiota with AMPs but, according to our knowledge, there are no registered patents in the American patent database. There are a considerable number of AMPs that exhibit excellent antimicrobial activity against endodontic microbiota at a small inhibitory concentration and modulate an exacerbated immune response, down-regulating bone resorption. All these reasons indicate the antimicrobial peptide-based endodontic treatment as an emerging and promising option.

Abstract
AIM The present study compares the marginal adaption of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) and Intermediate Restorative Material (IRM) as root-end filling materials in extracted human teeth using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty single rooted human teeth were obturated with Gutta-percha after cleaning and shaping. Apical 3 mm of roots were resected and retrofilled with MTA, GIC and IRM. One millimeter transverse section of the retrofilled area was used to study the marginal adaptation of the restorative material with the dentin. Mounted specimens were examined using SEM at approximately 15 Kv and 10(-6) Torr under high vacuum condition. At 2000 X magnification, the gap size at the material-tooth interface was recorded at 2 points in microns. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS One way ANOVA Analysis of the data from the experimental group was carried out with gap size as the dependent variable, and material as independent variable. RESULTS The lowest mean value of gap size was recorded in MTA group (0.722 ± 0.438 μm) and the largest mean gap in GIC group (1.778 ± 0.697 μm). CONCLUSION MTA showed least gap size when compared to IRM and GIC suggesting a better marginal adaptation.

Abstract
Dental traumatic injuries may affect the teeth and alveolar bone directly or indirectly. Pulpal necrosis and chronic and apical periodontitis with cystic changes are the most common sequelae of the dental traumatic injuries, if the teeth are not treated immediately. This case report focuses on the conventional and surgical management of mandibular central incisors. A twenty-four-year-old male patient presented with pain in the mandibular central incisors. Radiographic examination revealed mandibular central incisors with dumbbell shaped periapical lesion. After root canal treatment, parendodontic surgery was performed for mandibular central incisors. After one-year recall examination, the teeth were asymptomatic and periapical lesion had healed.

Abstract
Failure of a post-retained restoration can provide a challenge to the general dental practitioner (GDP) in terms of diagnosis, treatment planning and communication with the patient. The cause of failure must be identified, and a thorough assessment of the restoration, remaining tooth and its functional and aesthetic demands carried out in order to plan treatment to provide the most reliable result. Clinical Relevance: This article discusses the assessment of failing post-retained crowns, with discussion of reasons for failure, thereby assisting the GDP in decision-making and treatment planning for such teeth.

Outcomes of periradicular surgery of maxillary first molars using a vestibular approach: a prospective, clinical study with one year of follow-up. J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2014; 72:1049-61. [PMID: 24709513 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2014.02.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2013] [Revised: 02/03/2014] [Accepted: 02/03/2014] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the present prospective, randomized, controlled, clinical study was to compare the outcomes of periradicular surgery of the maxillary first molar tooth using the vestibular approach between 2 preoperative radiologic evaluation methods: cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and conventional radiography. PATIENTS AND METHODS Periradicular surgery was applied to the maxillary first molar tooth in 40 patients. The patients were divided into 2 groups. The patients in group 1 underwent examination and preoperative planning with CBCT, and the patients in group 2 underwent examination and preoperative planning with conventional radiography. The outcomes of the treatment were evaluated radiographically and clinically, and the data were analyzed statistically. RESULTS The mean operative time was significantly shorter in group 1 than in group 2. According to the radiographic and clinical healing criteria used in the present study, the healing of patients in group 1 was rated as a success in 35%, an improvement in 40%, and a failure in 25%. In the group 2 patients, healing was rated as a success in 42.1%, an improvement in 31.6%, and a failure in 26.3%. Sinus membrane elevation was performed in 92.3% of all patients. Sinus membrane perforation occurred in 20% of the patients in group 1 and 36.8% of the patients in group 2. CONCLUSIONS Periradicular surgery of maxillary first molars using a vestibular approach is a viable treatment method with a low complication rate. Preoperative CBCT examination demonstrated positive contributions to the treatment outcomes.
