ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The aim of the current study was the retrospective analysis of the outcomes of teeth treated with apical surgery after a 1-year follow-up period. Furthermore, potential factors associated with the success rate were investigated.METHODS:
All patients were treated at the Clinic of Cranio-Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery at the University of Zurich between 2010 and 2017. To be eligible for inclusion, all patients were required to have undergone apical surgery with a retrograde root-end filling, and a 1-year follow-up examination at the University of Zurich. Treatment success at the 1-year follow-up time-point was defined as an absence of clinical complaints and radiographically determined healing. Parameters that were analysed included tooth localisation, periapical index of the preoperative lesion, administration of antibiotics, smoker status, histopathology of the apical lesion, radiographically determined sufficiency of root canal treatment pain and clinical signs of inflammation at the initial examination.RESULTS:
A total of 81 teeth fulfilled all the inclusion criteria. At the 1-year follow-up, 91.4% of the teeth exhibited successful clinical and radiographic healing. The type of tooth was significantly associated with the success of the surgery (p = 0.006), but radiological severity of periapical inflammation, lesion histopathology, administration of antibiotics, smoker status, the quality of the root canal treatment, and preoperative pain and clinical signs of inflammation were not.CONCLUSION:
The results of the present study suggest that apical surgery with retrograde root-end filling is a reliable therapy for the preservation of teeth. Furthermore, there are limited factors that affect the treatment outcome.Palavras-chave
