Clin Oral Investig 2024; 28:188. [PMID: 38430316 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-024-05569-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Root-end filling is important for the clinical outcome of endodontic microsurgery. Our previous study showed that combined application of iRoot BP Plus Root Repair Material (BP-RRM) and iRoot SP Injectable Root Canal Sealer (SP-RCS) in root-end filling exhibited better apical sealing as compared to the application of BP-RRM alone. The aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial was to evaluate the effect of the combined use of BP-RRM and SP-RCS on the prognosis of teeth with refractory periapical diseases after endodontic microsurgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS 240 teeth with refractory periapical diseases scheduled for endodontic microsurgery were randomly divided into BP-RRM/SP-RCS group (n = 120) and BP-RRM group (n = 120). The patients were followed up at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after endodontic microsurgery. Pre- and post-operative clinical and radiographic examinations were performed to evaluate the treatment outcome. The 1-year success rate of endodontic microsurgery in BP-RRM/SP-RCS and BP-RRM groups was compared by Chi-square test. Factors that might impact the prognosis were further analyzed using Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. RESULTS A total of 221 teeth completed the 12-month follow-up. The 1-year success rates of the BP-RRM/SP-RCS and BP-RRM groups were 94.5% (104/110) and 92.8% (103/111), respectively. The combined use of BP-RRM and SP-RCS achieved a clinical outcome comparable to BP-RRM alone (P = 0.784). Tooth type (P = 0.002), through-and-through/apico-marginal lesion (P = 0.049), periodontal status (P < 0.0001), and Kim's lesion classification (P < 0.0001) were critical factors associated with the 1-year success of endodontic microsurgery. CONCLUSIONS The combined use of BP-RRM and SP-RCS is a practicable method for root-end filling in endodontic microsurgery with a satisfactory 1-year clinical outcome. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The combined application of BP-RRM and SP-RCS in EMS is an effective root-end filling method with a satisfactory 1-year clinical outcome. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2100052174).

Int Endod J 2023; 56:1446-1458. [PMID: 37695450 DOI: 10.1111/iej.13973] [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: 01/15/2023] [Revised: 08/22/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023]
Abstract
AIM To evaluate two- and three-dimensionally the effect of resorbable collagen-based bone-filling material on periapical healing of endodontic lesions with four-wall defects following endodontic microsurgery (EMS). METHODOLOGY This parallel, randomized controlled superiority clinical trial involved 86 lesions with the strictly endodontic origin and four-wall defect morphology. EMS procedures were performed by calibrated postgraduate residents. Before flap closure, osteotomies were randomized to the control or treatment group. In the control group, the flap was repositioned with no material added. In the treatment group, a collagen-based bone-filling augmentation material was placed into the osteotomy. Clinical and radiographic examinations were completed after 12 months. Periapical healing was evaluated by blinded evaluators using periapical (PA) radiographs according to Molven's criteria and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans according to PENN's 3D criteria. Cortical plate healing was scored according to the RAC/B index. The data were analysed using Fisher's exact test, Logistic regression models and Chi-squared test. The significance level was predetermined at p < .05. RESULTS Sixty-six cases were evaluated at the 12-month follow-up, with 30 and 36 cases in the control and treatment groups, respectively. Only the asymptomatic cases (control = 26, treatment = 32) were included in the radiographic evaluation. Twenty-three cases (88.5%) in the control and 28 (87.5%) cases in the treatment group demonstrated complete healing on PA radiographs (p = 1.000). On CBCT, 10 (38.4%) and 21 (65.6%) cases had completely healed in the control and treatment groups, respectively (p = .095). The re-establishment of the buccal cortical plate was detected in 12 (46.2%) and 22 (68.8%) cases in the control and treatment groups, respectively (p = .243). CONCLUSION Within the limitations of the present study, the use of collagen-based bone-filling material had no statistically significant effect on the periapical healing of endodontic lesions with four-wall defect following EMS at the 12-month follow-up when evaluated by PA radiographs or CBCT scans. However, the observed higher percentage of a re-established cortical plate in the treatment group could suggest a clinical benefit that is of interest after surgical endodontic treatment.

Treatment-Related Factors Affecting the Success of Endodontic Microsurgery and the Influence of GTR on Radiographic Healing-A Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Study. J Clin Med 2023; 12:6382. [PMID: 37835026 PMCID: PMC10573613 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12196382] [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: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
The primary objective of this retrospective study was to assess the correlation between treatment-related factors (resection angle, depth of retrograde filling, length of resected root and use of guided tissue regeneration-GTR) evaluated using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans and the treatment outcomes of endodontic microsurgery (EMS). The secondary purpose of this research was to evaluate the influence of the GTR technique on the radiographic healing state, taking into account the initial parameters of periapical lesions. In 161 cases, the local factors (volume of a lesion, bone destruction pattern, presence/absence of cortical bone destruction) were measured using preoperative CBCT images before undergoing EMS. At least one year after surgery, the outcome of EMS was classified as a success or a failure (based on radiographic and clinical criteria). Using postoperative CBCT, treatment-related factors (resection angle, depth of retrograde filling, and length of resected root) were measured. Additionally, the status of radiographic healing was evaluated (in accordance with modified PENN 3D criteria). Eighteen cases (11.18%) were classified as failures, and 143 were classified as successes (88.82%). Univariate analysis showed that there was no statistically significant influence of treatment-related factors on the healing outcome of EMS. An exact Fischer's test showed the significant impact of GTR on radiographic healing (P < 0.001) in apical lesions (P < 0.001), lesions with a volume between 100 mm3 and 450 mm3 (P < 0.009) and over 450 mm3 (P < 0.001), lesions with the destruction of one plate (P < 0.001), and lesions with the destruction of two plates (through and through) (P = 0.022). The use of GTR in apical lesions, lesions with volumes over 100 mm3, and lesions with the destruction of at least one plate is significantly associated with better radiographic healing.

Abstract
The loss of periodontal tissue support and vertical buccal bone loss in apico-marginal defects can often be mistaken for features indicative of vertical root fractures and this study reports thirteen cases with persistent symptomatic apical periodontitis, apico-marginal defects, and large periapical lesions that were managed with endodontic microsurgery in conjunction with bone grafts and barrier placements with a follow-up period of up to 9 years. At the recall sessions, all cases were asymptomatic with radiographical success with only 2 cases exhibiting residual apical radiolucency, but with evident reduction in the lesion size, indicative of healing. This study highlights the potential of utilizing endodontic microsurgery combined with guided tissue regeneration that proved effective in stimulating the regeneration of periodontal tissue in cases of apico-marginal defects that can lead to favourable long-term outcomes.

Abstract
The purpose of this retrospective study was to verify preoperative local parameters of periapical lesions evaluated on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans as a potential prognostic factor in endodontic microsurgery (EMS). Among 89 cases, local factors (dimensions of lesion, bone destruction pattern, presence/absence of cortical bone destruction, height of buccal bone plate, apical extend of root canal filling, presence/absence of communication with anatomical cavities, type of lesion restriction) were measured on preoperative CBCT images before EMS. At least one year after surgery, the outcome of EMS was classified as a success or a failure. Ten cases (11.24%) were classified as a failure and 79 as a success (88.76%). Symptomatic lesions (OR = 0.088 (95% CI 0.011-0.731); p = 0.024), apicomarginal lesions (OR = 0.092 (0.021-0.402); p = 0.001) and an association with molar teeth (OR = 0.153 (0.032-0.732); p = 0.019) were found as negative predictive factors in the univariate analysis, whereas large apicocoronal dimension (OR = 0.664 (0.477-0.926); p = 0.016), apicomarginal lesions (OR = 0.058 (0.006-0.55); p = 0.013), and an association with molar teeth (OR = 0.047 (0.003-0.869); p = 0.04) were identified as negative predictive factors in the multivariate analysis model. Symptomatic lesions, apicomarginal lesions, lesions associated with molar teeth and large apicocoronal dimensions are significantly associated with the failure of EMS.

Int Endod J 2022; 55:811-832.

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.

Abstract
Cemental tears are an important condition of relevance to Endodontics but are often overlooked. A cemental tear is the partial or complete detachment of the cementum from the cemento-dentinal junction or along the incremental line within the body of cementum. The limited attention received is most likely due to the limited awareness amongst dental professionals and challenges in accurately diagnosing them, resulting in misdiagnosis and erroneous treatment. The aim of this review is to describe the: (i) epidemiology and predisposing factors; (ii) clinical, radiographic and histological features and (iii) the clinical management and treatment outcomes of cemental tear. The review included 37 articles published in English that comprised eight observational studies and 29 case reports. The prevalence of cemental tears was reported to be lower than 2%; whilst the incidence remains unknown. Internal factors due to the inherent structural weakness of cementum and its interface with the dentine, and external factors that are associated with stress have been proposed as the two mechanisms responsible for the development and propagation of cemental tears. Predisposing factors that have been implicated were tooth type, gender, age, previous root canal treatment, history of dental trauma, occlusal trauma and excessive occlusal force; however, evidence is limited. Common clinical and radiographic manifestations of cemental tears resemble the presentations of primary endodontic diseases, primary periodontal diseases and combined endodontic-periodontal lesions. Clinical management tended to focus on complete removal of the torn fragments and periodontal treatment, often combined with regenerative treatment. In this article, a new classification for cemental tears is developed that consists of classes 0 to 6 and stages A, B, C and D based on the: (i) location and accessibility of the torn cemental fragment; (ii) the pattern and extension of the associated bony defect in relation to the root length and (iii) the number of root surface/s affected by the cemental tear/s and the associated bony defect. Recommendations for treatment strategies are also provided and linked to the classification to aid in streamlining the process of treatment decision making.

Diagnosis and Management of Apical Fenestrations Associated with Endodontic Diseases: A Literature Review. Eur Endod J 2021; 6:25-33.

Abstract
Apical fenestration describes a window-like opening of the alveolar bone that involves the root apex of the associated tooth. Mucosal fenestration is a similar defect of the overlying mucosa and, when presented with a concomitant apical fenestration, may expose the root apex to the oral environment. A fenestration may arise from physiological and pathological processes. Although its presence does not necessitate treatment per se, these lesions have significant clinical implications when associated with endodontic diseases. Apical fenestrations associated with endodontic infections are relatively uncommon and can easily be overlooked or misdiagnosed. A thorough understanding of these lesions is key for timely diagnosis and successful management. The aim of this study was to review the epidemiology, aetiological factors, characteristics, management methods and potential outcomes of apical fenestrations associated with endodontic diseases. A search of online databases for relevant studies was conducted. With the inclusion of hand searched articles, 20 articles, consisting of case reports and series, were identified, and the key characteristics of each case were summarised. Apical fenestrations were found to be most commonly associated with maxillary teeth and almost always occur on the buccal aspect of the alveolar bone. Clinicians may consider the possibility of an apical fenestration with concurrent endodontic pathology when patients present with non-healing sinus tracts, exposed tooth apices and/or persistent pain after endodontic treatment, particularly on palpation and mastication. Clinical signs and symptoms can vary, hence cone-beam computed tomography is an important tool for diagnosis. The management involves surgically restoring a favourable anatomical configuration of the root apex in relation to the alveolar bony housing and may be combined with guided tissue regeneration and/or grafting procedures. Sloughing, reopening and infection are potential complications. The literature on apical fenestrations associated with endodontic diseases is limited, thus further research is needed to develop evidence-based guidelines for the diagnosis and management of these lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Regenerative techniques are increasingly applied in endodontic surgery, but different materials used in regenerative techniques may have varying impacts on wound healing. OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the effects of different regenerative techniques and materials on the outcome of endodontic surgery. PARTICIPANTS patients with persistent periapical lesions, treated with root-end surgery. CONTROL endodontic surgery without the use of regenerative techniques/materials. INTERVENTION endodontic surgery with the use of regenerative techniques/materials. OUTCOME combined clinical and radiographic results. METHODS PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, SinoMed and the CENTRAL Cochrane were searched up to 10th July 2020, followed by a manual search. Detailed eligibility criteria were applied. Cochrane's risk-of-bias tool 2.0 was used to assess the risk of bias of the eligible studies. Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan software. Subgroup analyses were performed based on the regenerative materials used in endodontic surgery. RESULTS Eleven eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included in the meta-analysis: two had a low risk of overall bias, and nine had some concerns of overall bias. Generally, the use of regenerative techniques significantly improved the outcome of endodontic surgery (risk ratio [RR]: 0.42; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.26-0.68; P < 0.001). On subgroup analysis, the use of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) membranes alone had no added benefits (RR: 2.00; 95% CI, 0.22-18.33; P = 0.54). The application of collagen membranes or autologous platelet concentrates (APCs) alone was associated with a trend for better outcomes (RR: 0.51; 95% CI, 0.20-1.25; P = 0.14) (RR: 0.55; 95% CI, 0.18-1.71; P = 0.30). The combined use of collagen membranes and bovine-derived hydroxyapatite significantly improved the outcome (RR: 0.35; 95% CI, 0.17-0.75; P = 0.007). DISCUSSION This systematic review evaluated the effects of collagen membranes, e-PTFE membranes, APCs and bone grafting materials, providing detailed information about the risks and benefits of using each regenerative technique/material or its combination in endodontic surgery. CONCLUSIONS Regenerative techniques improve periapical lesion healing after endodontic surgery. The combined use of collagen membranes and bovine-derived hydroxyapatite may be beneficial as an adjunct to endodontic surgery. In contrast, the positive efficacy of e-PTFE membranes or APCs alone remains doubtful.

[PMID: 32975855 DOI: 10.1111/iej.13419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2020] [Revised: 09/17/2020] [Accepted: 09/18/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
AIM To (i) evaluate and compare the outcome of endodontic microsurgery (EMS) using periapical radiographs (PAs) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans; (ii) identify prognostic factors affecting the outcome; and (iii) correlate the effect of guided tissue regeneration (GTR) on the pattern of apical bone remodelling. METHODOLOGY Eighty-two patients (101 teeth) who received EMS were included and followed-up using clinical and radiographic examinations (PAs and CBCT scans). Two calibrated endodontists evaluated the radiographic healing (favourable or unfavourable) by assessing PAs and CBCT. The success (favourable radiographic outcome with no clinical symptoms) and survival rates (tooth retention without clinical symptoms) were calculated, and the cause of failure (diseased or fractured) was identified. Pre-treatment (age, sex, tooth type, position, sequence of treatment, quality of root canal before surgery, presence/absence of through-and-through lesion, presence/absence apico-marginal defect) and treatment (presence/absence of errors during surgery, type of error (major or minor), retro-preparation depth, presence/absence of an isthmus, retro-filling material used, presence/absence bone graft material and/or resorbable membrane) factors were recorded. Data were analysed statistically to determine the inter-observer, intra-observer and inter-radiographic agreements. Univariate, bivariate and logistic regression analysis were used to determine prognostic factors affecting the outcome and the effect of GTR on the pattern of apical bone remodelling. The significance level was set at 5%. RESULTS Sixty-eight patients (83 teeth) presented for outcome evaluation (recall rate: 84%). The survival rate was 93%. The success rate was 88% using PA and 86% using CBCT when vertical root fracture (VRF) cases were included and 94% using PAs, and 91% using CBCT when VRF cases were excluded. The intra- and inter-observer agreements were substantial using CBCT, slight to a fair agreement using PA (P < 0.001), and slight to moderate for inter-radiographic agreement. The occurence of a major procedural error during surgery was the only negative predictor for the outcome of EMS (P = 0.013). GTR did not affect the success rate or the type of healing when assessed using PA but it affected the type of healing on CBCT scans (complete vs incomplete healing) and the pattern of cortical plate remodelling (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The success and survival rate of endodontic microsurgery was very high, and the occurrence of a major procedural error during surgery was the only factor affecting the outcome. GTR did not improve the outcome, but did affect the quality of apical bone remodelling following EMS.

Abstract
The management of patients with apical fenestration and clinical symptoms has always been limited to apical root resection and placement of the root tip within the bony crypt. This result would often present resolution of clinical symptoms based on a few case studies. In this case report, we present a case in which apical resection alone did not resolve the patient's discomfort; on the contrary, it resulted in further bone loss and persistence of clinical symptoms. A corrective surgery was performed with the use of guided bone regeneration in conjunction with decortication of the cortical plate to induce bleeding. The patient symptoms resolved within a few weeks after the surgery, and the follow-up scan showed apical root coverage. Three-dimensional analysis was performed to compare the bony changes between the 2 surgeries and showed a significant amount of bone gain of around 200 mm3 and a 2-mm linear bone gain opposite the distobuccal root. The case presents a conservative approach to manage root fenestration of the buccal plate without further compromising the root apex.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the long-term outcomes of endodontic microsurgeries in a cohort and identify their association with prognostic factors. A cohort of endodontic microsurgeries followed up periodically with complete clinical and radiographic records for at least 5 years were reviewed retrospectively. Their survival and healing status and profile characteristics were analyzed by Pearson chi-square test and logistic regression (α = 0.05) to identify prognostic factors that influenced outcomes. Of 652 cases in the cohort, 225 (34.5%) were included. The mean follow-up period was 90.4 months (range, 60–168 months). The long-term success rate was 80.5%, and the 5-year survival rate was 83.5%. Logistic regression showed higher success in anteriors compared to molars (OR = 5.405, (95% CI, 1.663–17.571; p = 0.005)) and in teeth with crown restorations (OR = 10.232, (95% CI, 3.374–31.024; p < 0.001)). Conversely, lower success was found in teeth with periodontal disease (OR = 0.170, (95% CI, 0.032–0.900; p = 0.037)) and maxillary sinus involvement (OR = 0.187, (95% CI, 0.035–0.994; p = 0.049)). Endodontic microsurgery has a highly favorable long-term outcome. Tooth position, crown restoration, periodontal disease, and maxillary sinus involvement were identified as main prognostic factors.

GMS INTERDISCIPLINARY PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY DGPW 2019; 8:Doc13. [PMID: 31523611 PMCID: PMC6734193 DOI: 10.3205/iprs000139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
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
Summary
Background/Aim: Guided tissue regeneration is widely used in endodontic surgery. The aim is to aid in the healing process and bone regeneration and provide more successful and predictable outcomes.
Case report: This case report describes the successful treatment of an endodontic-periodontal lesion (with primary endodontic involvement), including root canal retreatment and endodontic surgery with the use of GTR (collagen absorbable membrane-xenogeneic bone graft). CBCT examination was used to aid in diagnosis and in the follow-up examination after two years to provide additional confirmation of the healing process. An extensive literature review was undertaken focusing on clinical studies that assessing the added benefit of GTR in surgical endodontics. The clinical and radiographic examinations showed uneventful healing and the reconstruction of the buccal plate and periapical area. The patient remained asymptomatic throughout the entire two years period after surgical intervention. A literature review concluded that lesion type, lesion size and the selection of the biomaterial are important factors that influence the outcome of GTR in comparison control groups. A favorable outcome was found in cases of large periapical lesions (>10mm), through-through lesions and with the use of an absorbable membrane, with or without a bone graft.
Conclusions: GTR is thought to provide an added benefit in bone regeneration and the healing process in specific cases. The outcomes in the case report are consistent with the conclusions of literature review.

Abstract
Objective The outcome of apical surgery using modern techniques is favourable. However, the presence of a combined apicomarginal defect may negatively affect the postsurgical healing. The objective of this retrospective analysis was to assess the healing of teeth with apicomarginal defects treated with apical surgery and enamel matrix derivative (EMD). Methods This retrospective study evaluated the application of EMD in apical surgery of 17 teeth with apicomarginal defects. Cases were followed for at least 1 year, and healing was classified based on established clinical and radiographic criteria. Results The patient sample included nine females and eight males with a mean age of 50±18.2 years. Maxillary incisors (six lateral and four central) were the most frequently treated teeth. The majority of apicomarginal defects was located on the facial aspect of the root (70.6%) and belonged to defect class I (76.5%). Follow-up periods ranged from 1 to 5 years. Healing was successful in 14 teeth (82.4%). Conclusion The application of EMD resulted in a similar outcome as in previously published clinical studies related to regenerative techniques for the treatment of apicomarginal defects in conjunction with apical surgery.

Abstract
Endodontic-periodontal diseases often present great challenges to the clinician in their diagnosis, management, and prognosis. Understanding the disease process through cause-and-effect relationships between the pulp and supporting periodontal tissues with the aid of rational classifications leads to successful treatment outcomes. In this report, we present several treatment modalities in patients with different endodontic-periodontal lesions. A modification to the new endodontic-periodontic classification, Al-Fouzan's classification, was also added. The first case was classified as retrograde periodontal disease (i.e., primary endodontic lesion with drainage through the periodontal ligament). The second case was diagnosed as an iatrogenic periodontal lesion caused by root perforation. The third case was diagnosed as an iatrogenic periodontal lesion caused by tooth trauma due to orthodontic treatment. The first two cases were managed with a nonsurgical approach, whereas the third case was managed with nonsurgical and surgical approaches. All patients showed complete healing of soft and hard tissue lesions. A thorough understanding of the disease history and the patient's signs and symptoms, complete examination with full investigation, and the use of a systematic step-by-step approach in the management of such challenging endodontic-periodontal lesions with regular recall visits were very useful and successful.

Comparison of the effect of endodontic-periodontal combined lesion on the outcome of endodontic microsurgery with that of isolated endodontic lesion: survival analysis using propensity score analysis. Clin Oral Investig 2017; 22:1717-1724.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this retrospective clinical study was to evaluate the effect of lesion types related to endodontic microsurgery on the clinical outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who underwent endodontic microsurgery between March 2001 and March 2014 with a postoperative follow-up period of at least 1 year were included in the study. Survival analyses were conducted to compare the clinical outcomes between isolated endodontic lesion group (endo group) and endodontic-periodontal combined lesion group (endo-perio group) and to evaluate other clinical variables. To reduce the effect of selection bias in this study, the estimated propensity scores were used to match the cases of the endo group with those of the endo-perio group. RESULTS Among the 414 eligible cases, the 83 cases in the endo-perio group were matched to 166 out of the 331 cases in the endo group based on propensity score matching (PSM). The cumulated success rates of the endo and endo-perio groups were 87.3 and 72.3%, respectively. The median success period of the endo-perio group was 12 years (95% CI: 5.507, 18.498). Lesion type was found to be significant according to both Log-rank test (P = 0.002) and Cox proportional hazard regression analysis (P = 0.001). Among the other clinical variables, sex (female or male), age, and tooth type (anterior, premolar, or molar) were determined to be significant in Cox regression analysis (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Endodontic-periodontal combined lesions had a negative effect on the clinical outcome based on an analysis that utilized PSM, a useful statistical matching method for observational studies. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Lesion type is a significant predictor of the outcome of endodontic microsurgery.

Abstract
The presence of an apicomarginal defect is one of the reasons for the failure of endodontic treatment. The best treatment option to treat an apicomarginal defect is to perform endodontic surgery using Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) membranes. The present case report evaluated the healing of periapical lesion along with apicomarginal defect using Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) as membrane in periapical surgery of mandibular first molar. Recall examination was performed at 3 and 18 months post surgery. A satisfactory periapical healing was evident using PRF in apicomarginal defect of mandibular first molar. PRF may be considered as an alternative treatment for GTR membranes in the treatment of apicomarginal defects.

Abstract
Periradicular (PR) bone defects are common sequelae of chronic endodontic lesions. Sometimes, conventional root canal therapy is not adequate for complete resolution of the lesion. PR surgeries may be warranted in such selected cases. PR surgery provides a ready access for the removal of pathologic tissue from the periapical region, assisting in healing. Recently, the regeneration of the destroyed PR tissues has gained more attention rather than repair. In order to promote regeneration after apical surgery, the principle of guided tissue regeneration (GTR) has proved to be useful. This case presents the management of a large PR lesion in a 42-year-old male subject. The PR lesion associated with 21, 11 and 12 was treated using GTR membrane, fixated with titanium minipins. The case was followed up for 2 years radiographically, and a surgical re-entry confirmed the re-establishment of the lost labial plate. Thus, the principle of GTR may immensely improve the clinical outcome and prognosis of an endodontically involved tooth with a large PR defect.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mucosal fenestration at the root apex may compromise the treatment results of periradicular surgery from exposing the surgical wound to the oral environment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of periapical lesions with mucosal fenestrations treated by guided tissue regeneration (GTR) combined with the management of soft tissue defects. METHODS Five patients with mucosal fenestration and large periapical lesions were treated by endodontic surgeries and periodontal regenerative procedures during 1999 to 2006. The barrier membranes and osseous grafts were placed over the periapical defects after root end resection and retrograde filling. The mucosal openings in all cases were sutured, whereas a connective tissue graft was placed before repositioning the flap in 2 cases. RESULTS The cases involving connective tissue grafting showed complete soft tissue coverage, whereas 2 of the 3 cases involving primary closure of fenestrations still had a small soft tissue opening that was further managed by placement of a connective tissue graft beneath in 1 case and direct suturing in the other case. After at least 6 years (72-160 months) of follow-up, all cases showed complete soft tissue and radiographic healing. CONCLUSIONS Connective tissue grafting in combination with GTR therapy facilitated fenestration closure and ensured long-term success in the treatment of a large periapical bony defect with mucosal fenestration.

Abstract
Endodontic and periodontal microsurgery has surpassed the success rates for traditional endodontic and periodontal surgical procedures. Excellent healing results are being attributed to both the techniques, when employed, for isolated endodontic or periodontal defects. Combined endodontic-periodontal lesions have been referred to as a true challenge, requiring not only endodontic microsurgical management but also concurrent bone grafting and membrane barriers techniques. The prevention of epithelial downgrowth and regeneration of periodontal cementum, fiber, and bone seals the fate of these cases. Achieving primary closure with submergence of grafts has a positive effect on GTR outcome. New techniques of periodontal microsurgery, such as minimally invasive papilla preserving flaps with passive internal mattress suturing, have managed to obtain 90% primary flap closure over grafted sites. Root surface treatment and conditioning has also shown to be beneficial for GTR. Endodontic microsurgery for the combined lesion has not integrated these advances yet. These advances, along with a recently suggested treatment strategy, are ushering in the level next in management of the combined lesions. This article offers an overview of the combined lesion, the disease, its classification, treatment strategy, regenerative tools, microsurgical recommendations, and outcome studies.

Abstract
Implant peri-apical lesion (IPL) is a periapical lesion, usually asymptomatic, in which the coronal portion of the implant achieves a normal bone to implant interface. A case of IPL following immediate implant placement and treated with guided bone regeneration (GBR) principles is described. Five-year clinical and radiographic follow-up with cone-beam assessment showed complete healing of the bone. GBR principles applied to IPL could completely solve the lesion.

Abstract
Objectives: Analyse the effectiveness of different materials and techniques used in guided tissue regeneration (GTR) applied in periapical surgery, comparing the success rate obtained in 4-wall defects and in through-and-through bone lesions as well as to establish prognostic factors.
Material and Methods: A Cochrane, PubMed-MEDLINE and Scopus database search (October 2012 to March 2013) was conducted with the search terms “periapical surgery”, “surgical endodontic treatment”, “guided tissue regeneration”, “bone regeneration”, “bone grafts”, “barrier membranes” and “periapical lesions” individually and next, using the Boolean operator “AND”. The inclusion criteria were the use of GTR (bone graft and/or membrane barrier), clinical studies including at least 10 patients, 10 years aged articles published in English or French. The exclusion criteria were case reports and nonhuman studies.
Results: 34 publications were selected from a total of 483. 9 of the 34 were excluded. Finally, the systematic review included 25 articles: 2 metaanalysis, 8 reviews, 13 prospective studies and 2 retrospective studies. They were stratified according to their level of scientific evidence using the SORT criteria. The 4-wall periapical and through-and-through lesions improve more their prognosis by combining bone grafts and barrier membranes than using these materials exclusively, respect to the control groups. The results show lower failure rates in 4-wall lesions than in through-and-through lesions using GTR.
Conclusions: The combined GTR technique (filling material and membranes) obtains a greater success rate both in 4-wall lesions and in through-and-through lesions, respect to the control groups. The use of regeneration materials seems to be more necessary in through-and-through lesions,> 5mm lesions, lower teeth and apicomarginal lesions as they have the worst healing prognosis. In function of the articles scientific quality, a type B recommendation is given in favour to the use of GTR in association of periapical surgery in case of 4-wall and through-and-through lesions.
Key words:Periapical surgery, surgical endodontic treatment, guided tissue regeneration, bone regeneration, bone grafts, barrier membranes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In most cases, the natural healing of intrabony defects only leads to restoration of tissue continuity without differentiation and function. However, repair is not regarded to be an optimal treatment method, as confirmed in many clinical cases. Thus it is important to choose a surgical procedure which makes it possible to achieve restitution ad integrum of the bone structure. The choice of the GBR technique is crucial, in terms of the clinical conditions and limitations resulting from the use of a particular material. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study has been the analysis of effectiveness of selected surgical treatment techniques of intrabony defects in rabbits. MATERIALS AND METHODS Research was conducted on 36 white rabbits. The operation technique was a criterion of division into 3 groups: BG/BOC (Bio-Oss Collagen(®)+Bio-Gide Perio(®)), BOC/PRP (Bio-Oss Collagen(®)+PRP), C (control group). Qualitative and quantitative histopathological evaluation was carried out after 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. RESULTS The highest value of the bone surface area 31.9% (SD 1.8) was achieved in BOC/BG group three months after the implantation, while the lowest was revealed in C - group - 12.5% (SD 1.32) one month following the procedure. CONCLUSIONS Upon quantitative histological assessment, the bone tissue presented the most intensive osteogenesis within one month from the application of BOC/PRP, whereas this was observed after the application of BOC/BG in later stages. The application of two regenerative methods influenced the rate, quality and overall treatment of intraosseus defects.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Large through-and-through lesions have been reported to heal faster and better when filled with bone graft material at the time of an apicoectomy. It is unknown what effect these have on retrograde filling materials such as white mineral trioxide aggregate (WMTA). In this study, the null hypothesis was tested that the presence of bone graft materials does not affect the microhardness of WMTA. METHODS Freshly mixed WMTA was condensed into acrylic cylinders and preincubated aerobically at 37°C for 1 hour. Cylinders were immersed in simulated body fluid in close proximity to graft materials: xenograft (Bio-Oss, n = 60), freeze-dried bone allograft (MinerOss, n = 60), demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft (OraGraft, n = 40), and allograft (Puros, n = 60). Knoop microhardness of half the samples in each group was evaluated after 2 weeks of incubation and the remainder at 4 weeks. The values for each group were then compared with 2-way analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc tests. RESULTS WMTA microhardness values for Bio-Oss, MinerOss, and Puros groups were lower than those for OraGraft and control groups regardless of incubation period (P < .001); values for the OraGraft group were higher than those for the control group at 2 weeks (P < .001), with no difference at 4 weeks. Microhardness values were higher at 4 weeks compared with 2 weeks for MinerOss (P < .05), OraGraft (P < .01), and control (P < .001), with no differences for Bio-Oss and Puros groups. The null hypothesis was rejected. CONCLUSIONS Demineralized and mineralized graft materials appear to have a differential effect on the microhardness of WMTA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The use of guided tissue regeneration (GTR) techniques has been proposed as an adjunct to endodontic surgery in order to promote bone healing. Studies assessing the added benefits of GTR for the outcome of endodontic surgery are significantly variable in their treatment protocols, follow-up periods, and inclusion criteria, thus generating inconsistent and confusing results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of GTR on the outcome of surgical endodontic treatment by means of a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis. METHODS An exhaustive literature search combined with strict inclusion and exclusion criteria was undertaken to identify clinical studies that assessed the added benefit of GTR in endodontic surgery. RESULTS A trend of better outcome was found when GTR was used compared to control cases, but the results were not statistically significant. Lesion size, lesion type, and membrane type were identified as factors significantly affecting the outcome of GTR versus control cases. GTR techniques favorably affected the outcome of surgical endodontic treatments in cases of large periapical lesions and through-and-through lesions. A favorable outcome was found when using a resorbable membrane over using a nonresorbable membrane or graft alone. CONCLUSIONS GTR techniques may improve the outcome of bone regeneration after surgical endodontic treatments of teeth with certain lesions. Additional large-scale prospective clinical studies are needed to further evaluate possible benefits of GTR techniques in endodontic surgery.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Apical surgery has become a standard of care for tooth maintenance if conventional endodontic retreatment is not possible or associated with risks. However, in certain situations, the outcome of apical surgery may be compromised due to the extent or location of the periapical or periradicular lesions. The present review article including clinical and experimental studies reports and discusses the outcome of regenerative techniques (RT) in conjunction with apical surgery, with regard to the type of periradicular lesions: APICAL LESIONS The majority of studies have shown no benefit for healing in test sites treated with RT compared to control sites treated without RT. The use of a radio-opaque bone filler/substitute may even compound the radiographic interpretation of periapical healing. Currently, the use of RT for lesions <10 mm limited to the apical area is not warranted. THROUGH-AND-THROUGH LESIONS All reviewed studies demonstrated a better outcome for test sites with RT compared to the control sites without RT; hence the use of RT for treatment of tunnel lesions in apical surgery is recommended. APICO-MARGINAL LESIONS All clinical studies assessed cohorts without controls, and, therefore, no firm conclusion about the benefit of RT for treatment of apico-marginal lesions in conjunction with apical surgery can be drawn. However, the experimental animal studies have shown that healing of teeth with apico-marginal lesions appears to benefit from RT.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Little is known about the frequency of persistent pain after endodontic procedures even though pain is a core patient-oriented outcome. We estimated the frequency of persistent pain, regardless of etiology, after endodontic treatment. METHODS Persistent tooth pain was defined as pain present > or = 6 months after endodontic treatment. Endodontic procedures included in the review were pulpectomy, nonsurgical root canal treatment, surgical root canal treatment, and retreatment. Four databases were searched electronically complemented by hand searching. Two independent reviewers determined eligibility, abstracted data, and assessed study quality. A summary estimate of persistent all-cause tooth pain frequency was established by using a random-effects meta-analysis. Using subgroup analyses, we explored the influence of treatment approach (surgical/nonsurgical), longitudinal study design (prospective/retrospective), follow-up rate, follow-up duration, initial treatment versus retreatment, and quality of reporting (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology rankings) on the pain frequency estimate. RESULTS Of 770 articles retrieved and reviewed, 26 met inclusion criteria. A total of 5,777 teeth were enrolled, and 2,996 had follow-up information regarding pain status. We identified 168 teeth with pain and derived a frequency of 5.3% (95% confidence interval, 3.5%-7.2%, p < 0.001) for persistent all-cause tooth pain. High and statistically significant heterogeneity among studies (I2 = 80%) was present. In subgroup analysis, prospective studies had a higher pain frequency (7.6%) than retrospectives studies did (0.9%). Quality of study reporting was identified as the most influential reason for study heterogeneity. CONCLUSIONS The frequency of all-cause persistent tooth pain after endodontic procedures was estimated to be 5.3%, with higher report quality studies suggesting >7%.
