This article provides an overview of the factors influencing the wound healing of oral soft tissues before, during, and after surgical endodontics. In more detail, the effects of flap design, handling of tissues, and wound closure are discussed.

Currently, although ultrasonics (US) is used in dentistry for therapeutic and diagnostic applications as well as for cleaning of instruments before sterilization, its main use is for scaling and root planing of teeth and in root canal therapy, both for orthograde and retrograde therapy. Both in conventional and surgical treatments, US in endodontics has enhanced quality of clinical procedures a...

In Surgical Endodontics we face complex situations that require the knowlflap and application of both principles of endodontics (cleansing shaping and filling) in the root management, and the principles of surgery (asepsis, non harmfulness and hemostasis) in the phase of access to the root. Among the factors of surgical relevance that for which have been proposed with the largest number of alte...

The success of an endodontic surgery depends on the removal a persistent infection from external apical surface and necrotic tissue or contaminated filling material within root canal system followed to complete end preparation. current concepts surgical endodontics recommend that its execution with use magnification illumination operating microscope, which allows easier identification apices, s...

A 41-year-old male with a dental history of invasive cervical resorption (ICR) was initially treated surgical endodontics approach and secondly antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) along endodontic retreatment. The use aPDT essential to promote bacterial reduction in the defect. Combining these techniques allowed for clinical, radiographic, tomographic success after five years follow-up.

_The world of endodontics has incorporated new technologies, instruments and materials in the past decade, such as operating microscopes, digital radiography, CBCT, NiTi rotary shaping files, sonic and ultrasonic instruments, and new irrigation delivery systems. However, despite all these improvements, the overall outcome, especially of non-surgical endo dontics, has not increased significantly...

The aim of this review was to analyse the literature to assess the possibility of an association between smoking and endodontic disease and the prognosis of endodontically treated teeth. The review of the prognosis of endodontically treated teeth involved taking account of any potential associations with smoking and endodontic disease and marginal periodontitis, and smoking and prosthodontic ou...
