Summary
This study showcases detailed apical anatomy images using stereo-microscopy during surgery. A simple endodontic cement technique significantly improved long-term outcomes for treated cases.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Surgical Anatomy
- Endodontics
Context:
- Stereo-microscopy offers detailed visualization of tooth apical anatomy during surgical procedures.
- Traditional surgical techniques can be enhanced with innovative modifications.
Purpose:
- To present high-resolution photographic documentation of tooth apical anatomy using stereo-microscopy.
- To illustrate a modified surgical technique involving endodontic cement for improved amalgam seals.
Summary:
- The study details the use of stereo-microscopy from apex preparation through retrograde filling.
- A key modification involves using endodontic cement to enhance the amalgam seal, a technique refined over six years.
Impact:
- This simple clinical technique has demonstrated significant long-term improvements in treated cases.
- The findings highlight the value of advanced visualization and material modification in endodontic surgery.
