Achieve effective hemostasis in endodontic microsurgery using a stepwise approach. This method involves presurgical anesthetic infiltration, surgical application of agents like epinephrine or calcium sulfate, and postsurgical compression for optimal outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Endodontics
  • Surgical Procedures
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Hemostasis is critical in endodontic microsurgery for visualization and retrograde filling placement.
  • Numerous hemostatic agents exist, requiring objective decision-making for optimal use.
  • Effective agents are fast-acting, easy to handle, biocompatible, non-retarding to healing, inexpensive, and reliable.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To recommend a sequence for achieving hemostasis during endodontic microsurgery.
  • To outline presurgical, surgical, and postsurgical techniques for bleeding control.

Main Methods:

  • Presurgical: Epinephrine (1:50,000) local anesthetic infiltration.
  • Surgical: Granulation tissue removal, epinephrine pellet application, or calcium sulfate putty packing.

  • Alternative surgical methods include ferric sulfate for small bleeding sites and postsurgical tissue compression.

    • Main Results:

    • Epinephrine pellets, when used with cotton pellets and pressure, provide effective hemostasis.
    • Calcium sulfate serves as a biodegradable barrier material, promoting predictable healing with minimal scarring.
    • Ferric sulfate effectively controls small bleeding sites in bone.

    Conclusions:

    • A structured approach to hemostasis, utilizing agents like epinephrine and calcium sulfate, enhances endodontic microsurgery.
    • Proper hemostasis improves surgical field visualization, retrograde filling placement, and overall procedure efficiency.
    • The recommended techniques minimize blood loss and promote favorable healing outcomes.
