Outcome of Endodontic Surgery: A Meta-analysis of the Literature—Part 1: Comparison of Traditional Root-end Surgery and Endodontic Microsurgery

Prognostic Factors for Clinical Outcomes in Endodontic Microsurgery: A Retrospective Study

“…The relative risk ratio showed that the probability of success for endodontic microsurgery was 1.58 times that of traditional root-end surgery (11), which means that endodontic microsurgery has a considerably higher and predictable clinical outcome. Because the surgical technique has become more precise and predictable than traditional endodontic surgery, the predictors affecting the clinical outcome of endodontic microsurgery might have changed.…”

Three-year outcomes of apicectomy (apicoectomy): Mining an insurance database

“…The comparison of study data for apicoectomy is limited due to different techniques, varying outcomes and study designs. Modern techniques were reported to deliver significantly increased and high success rates (3)(4)(5)(6)(7). In a clinical trial, an overall success rate of 88.0 % was found after 6 to 12 months (8).…”

Analysis of the Cause of Failure in Nonsurgical Endodontic Treatment by Microscopic Inspection during Endodontic Microsurgery

“…Nevertheless, a precise diagnosis can be made only after surgery or extraction, and there are few reports dealing with the clinical implications and microbiologic persistence (10). A precise inspection of the root apex or resected root surface is one of the best advantages of endodontic microsurgery (11,12). It helps identify the cause of endodontic failure, so that causative factors can be removed completely during the surgical procedure.…”
