Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Surgical Endoscopy

Background:

  • Root-end management is crucial for endodontic treatment success.
  • Traditional methods may have limitations in visualizing complex root-end anatomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the benefits of using an endoscope in endodontic surgical procedures.
  • To assess the 2-year treatment outcome, including periapical healing and tooth functionality.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective clinical study involving 43 endodontic surgical procedures in 30 patients.
  • Procedures utilized an endoscope for root-end management.
  • Outcomes assessed using radiographic criteria and clinical evaluation over a 2-year follow-up period.

Main Results:

  • High success rates observed: 91.1% at 1 year and 90.7% at 2 years.

  • No statistically significant differences in healing or functionality between 1- and 2-year evaluations.
  • No significant differences based on tooth type or location at 2-year follow-up.

    • Conclusions:

    • The endoscope serves as a valuable aid in endodontic surgical procedures.
    • It contributes positively to periapical healing and tooth functionality up to 2 years post-surgery.
