    Summary

    A novel apical closure technique using a metal filling after root resection offers secure and exact closure. This method simplifies crown prosthesis anchoring and ensures long-term stability, even if further root procedures are needed.

    Area of Science:

    • Endodontics
    • Dental materials science

    Context:

    • Apical root resection is a surgical endodontic procedure.
    • Achieving a stable and leak-proof apical seal is crucial for treatment success.
    • Current methods may present challenges in achieving precise and durable apical closure.

    Purpose:

    • To introduce a new, standardized procedure for apical closure following apical root resection.
    • To present a technique utilizing a metal filling for enhanced apical seal and prosthesis support.

    Summary:

    • A new procedure for apical closure after apical root resection employs a standardized metal filling.
    • The technique involves conical root preparation, allowing a distortion-resistant metal peg for crown prosthesis anchoring.
    • A temporary gutta-percha peg can be used, and the metal closure provides firm, wedged stability for future interventions.
