The novel Apexum procedure offers minimally invasive removal of inflamed periapical tissues, significantly reducing pain and enhancing healing without adverse events compared to traditional treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Endodontics
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Periapical inflammation presents a challenge in endodontic treatment.
  • Conventional treatments can involve significant postoperative discomfort and prolonged healing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate the Apexum procedure, a novel minimally invasive technique for periapical tissue removal.
  • To compare the outcomes of the Apexum procedure with conventional root canal treatment and apical surgery.

Main Methods:

  • The Apexum procedure involves minimally invasive removal or debulking of periapical inflamed tissues via root canal access.
  • No scalpels, periosteal elevators, or sutures are used.

Main Results:

  • The Apexum procedure resulted in significantly less postoperative discomfort and pain.
