[Report on experiences with Eskici's vertical incision for apicoectomies]

Area of Science:

• Oral surgery
• Dental procedures

Context:

• Evaluation of surgical techniques in endodontics.
• Comparison of incision methods for apicectomy.

Purpose:

• To assess the appropriateness and compare the Eskici vertical incision with the angular incision for apicectomy.
• To analyze the indications, advantages, and disadvantages of each technique.

Summary:

• The Eskici vertical incision, used in 100 patients, provides excellent marginal periodontium sparing and unique wound healing characteristics.
• However, its indication range is more limited due to a smaller surgical field compared to the angular incision preferred by the authors.

Impact:

• Provides insights into surgical technique selection for apicectomy.
• Highlights the trade-offs between periodontium preservation and operative field size in endodontic surgery.
