Summary

Apicectomies using a 3 mm endoscope were performed on 28 teeth in 21 patients. The procedure demonstrated a 93% success rate after one year for treating periradicular lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Endodontics
  • Oral Surgery

Background:

  • Periradicular lesions pose a significant challenge in endodontic treatment.
  • Traditional apicectomy techniques can be invasive and may have limited visualization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and success rate of apicectomies performed with a 3 mm endoscope.
  • To assess the outcomes of endoscope-assisted apicectomy for periradicular lesions.

Main Methods:

  • A total of 30 teeth with periradicular lesions in 23 patients were treated.
  • Apicectomies were performed using a minimally invasive 3 mm endoscope.
  • Outcomes were assessed after one year postoperatively.

Main Results:

  • The study included 21 patients with 28 treated teeth after two failed to attend follow-up.

  • The endoscope-assisted apicectomy procedure achieved a success rate of 93% (26 out of 28 teeth).
  • The procedure was deemed successful in the majority of cases after a one-year follow-up period.

    • Conclusions:

    • Endoscope-assisted apicectomy is a highly successful treatment modality for periradicular lesions.
    • The use of a 3 mm endoscope in apicectomy offers a minimally invasive approach with excellent outcomes.
    • This technique provides a viable and effective alternative for managing complex endodontic cases.
