“…Studies that have made direct comparisons between the use of ultrasonic instruments and the use of burs for root-end preparation showed significantly better clinical outcomes when ultrasonics were used (68)(69)(70)(71)(72). However, less than 27% of the included articles reported the use of ultrasonics, whereas 38% reported the use of burs.…”

Introduction: The purpose of this systematic review was to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of nonsurgical retreatment with those of endodontic surgery to determine which modality offers more favorable outcomes. Methods: The study began with targeted electronic searches of MEDLINE, PubMed, and Cochrane databases, followed with exhaustive hand searching and citation mining for all articles reporting clinical and/or radiographic outcomes for at least a mean follow-up of 2 years for these procedures. Pooled and weighted success rates were determined from a meta-analysis of the data abstracted from the articles. Results: A significantly higher success rate was found for endodontic surgery at 2-4 years (77.8%) compared with nonsurgical retreatment for the same follow-up period (70.9%; P < .05). At 4-6 years, however, this relationship was reversed, with nonsurgical retreatment showing a higher success rate of 83.0% compared with 71.8% for endodontic surgery (P < .05). Insufficient numbers of articles were available to make comparisons after 6 years of follow-up period. Endodontic surgery studies showed a statistically significant decrease in success with each increasing follow-up interval (P < .05). The weighted success for 2-4 years was 77.8%, which declined at 4-6 years to 71.8% and further declined at 6+ years to 62.9% (P < .05). Conversely, the nonsurgical retreatment success rates demonstrated a statistically significant increase in weighted success from 2-4 years (70.9%) to 4-6 years (83.0%; P < .05). Conclusions: On the basis of these results it appears that endodontic surgery offers more favorable initial success, but nonsurgical retreatment offers a more favorable long-term outcome.

“…However, the included studies were not homogeneous (p = 0.01). The reason of the heterogeneity was the widely differing OR of the studies of Bader and Lejeune (128) and of de Lange et al (146), which both had relatively large material samples. The amount of pooled material was large with a total of 1,134 cases (654 bur cases and 480 microtip cases).…”

“…Data from 2 articles were used for CRS as well as EMS (12,15), bringing the total number to 7 datasets for CRS (10-16) and 9 datasets for EMS (12,15,(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23). There were 6 randomized controlled trials (best) (13,15,16,18,21,23), 2 prospective studies with concurrent controls (better) (12,22), and 6 prospective case studies (average) (10,11,14,17,19,20) included into the analysis ( Table 1).…”
