Brief summary

This study is to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes after guided periapical endodontic surgery versus conventional endodontic surgery.

Detailed description

The aim of this study is to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes after guided periapical endodontic surgery versus conventional endodontic surgery. Patients having mandibular posterior teeth indicated for endodontic surgery will be selected. Full medical and dental history will be obtained from all patients. Patients will be randomly assigned to either guided endodontic surgery or conventional endodontic surgery. Surgical procedures will be done under magnification. Root-end cavities will be filled using MTA.Post surgical instrucions will be given to patients. Surgical time will be recorded. Clinical and radiographic success will be asses at 6 and 12 month.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Clinical success1 yearClinical assessment using a scale by friedman et al 2005 (healed, healing and persisting disease) which healed mean absence of clinical signs and symptoms, persisting disease mean presence of clinical signs and symptoms
Radio graphic Success1 yearRadiograhic assessment using a scale by friedman et al 2005 (healed, healing and persisting disease) which healed mean radiographic classification of complete healing or incomplete healing, persisting disease mean radiographic classification of unsatisfactory healing.
