    Area of Science:

    • Endodontics
    • Oral Surgery
    • Dental Materials Science

    Background:

    • Advanced apical pathology often presents challenges for conventional surgical approaches.
    • Existing flap designs may have limitations when dealing with extensive crown and bridge work.
    • The need for reliable surgical techniques in complex endodontic cases is critical.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a modified flap technique for apicectomy.
    • To address the limitations of standard flaps in specific clinical scenarios.
    • To provide a solution for cases unsuitable for routine apical surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and description of a modified flap design for apicectomy.
    • Application of the technique in cases with advanced crown and bridge work.

  • Focus on achieving adequate layer closure and suture line support.

    • Main Results:

    • The modified flap effectively addresses disadvantages of standard flaps.
    • It is particularly valuable in cases with extensive restorative work and apical pathology.
    • The technique ensures secure wound closure with deep support.

    Conclusions:

    • The described modified flap is a valuable tool for apicectomy in complex cases.
    • It offers a viable alternative to routine apical surgery when indicated.
    • This technique enhances surgical predictability and patient outcomes.
