Guided endodontic microsurgery, also known as guided is a surgical procedure used to treat failed endodontically treated teeth with periapical infections. microsurgery can be problematic in some situations, such when there are tough anatomical features or limited access. Some of these complex cases managed using cone beam computed tomography imaging, CAD software design, and 3D printing technol...

The case reports describes non surgical healing in periradicular lesions.A conservative approach with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite was used for irrigation, and calcium hydroxide was used for the intra-canal dressing and 2% chlorohexidine as a final irrigant. Periapical healing was observed 1 month after obturation and continued in the 12-month recall. This report confirms that the large size of a ...

With dawn of era of minimal intervention in dentistry, surgical management of periapical lesions become controversial. Non-surgical or conservative management of periapical lesions not only cause less trauma to the tissues, but also promote faster and less eventful healing. This paper presents successful management of a periapical lesion in a 14 year old male child with calcium hydroxide paste ...

Epidemiology is the study of disease distribution and factors determining or affecting it. Likewise, endodontic epidemiology can be defined as the science of studying the distribution pattern and determinants of pulp and periapical diseases; specially apical periodontitis. Although different study designs have been used in endodontics, researchers must pay more attention to study designs with h...

INTRODUCTION A significant number of endodontically treated teeth restored with posts have associated periapical lesions, and several authors have discussed the probable causes of the development of these. Attention has been focused on restorative procedures performed after endodontic treatment and their association with the prognosis of endodontic therapy because a number of root-filled teeth ...

Background and Aim: The main goal of root canal treatment is to prevent or treat apical periodontitis. The aim of the present study was to assess the coronal restoration status, root canal filling quality, periapical health condition, and related factors in endodontically treated teeth at the Dental Faculty of Islamic Azad University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran, in 2011-12. Materials and...
