Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Targeted endodontic microsurgery (TEMS) significantly reduces surgical time and improves precision in osteotomy and resection compared to traditional endodontic microsurgery (EMS). TEMS results in more appropriate root-end resection volume and bevel angle in surgical simulations.

Area of Science:

  • Endodontics
  • Surgical Simulation
  • 3D Printing in Dentistry

Background:

  • Traditional endodontic microsurgery (EMS) involves osteotomy and root-end resection.
  • Optimizing surgical outcomes in endodontics is crucial for treatment success.
  • Surgical simulation models allow for controlled comparison of techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare surgical time, bevel angle, and volumetric profiles of osteotomy and resection between targeted endodontic microsurgery (TEMS) and traditional endodontic microsurgery (EMS).
  • To evaluate the efficiency and precision of TEMS in a simulated endodontic surgical environment.

Main Methods:

  • Artificial periapical lesions were created on 3D-printed models of human teeth.
  • Targeted endodontic microsurgery (TEMS) surgical guides were designed and 3D-printed.
  • Three endodontists performed both EMS and TEMS on duplicate models, with all procedures timed.
  • Postoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to measure bevel angle and resection volume.

Main Results:

  • TEMS significantly reduced surgical time compared to EMS (P < 0.00001).
  • TEMS achieved bevel angles closer to zero degrees (P < 0.01).
  • TEMS resulted in significantly less over-resection volume (P < 0.001) and shorter root resection length (P < 0.01).

Conclusions:

  • Targeted endodontic microsurgery (TEMS) offers enhanced efficiency in osteotomy and resection compared to traditional EMS.
  • TEMS demonstrates superior precision in achieving appropriate root-end resection volume and bevel angle in simulated endodontic surgery.
  • The use of 3D-printed guides and simulation models provides a valuable platform for evaluating novel endodontic surgical techniques.
