The comparison of piezosurgery vs. rotary techniques performing the apical resection in endodontic surgery
Abstract
The apical resection in endodontic surgery is often associated with adverse events. Different surgical techniques have been used for this kind of surgery. Endodontic therapy includes: primary, secondary treatment, and periradicular surgery, which is usually used when teeth can be saved. Periapical surgery is considered the treatment of choice to save a tooth with apical pathology that cannot be managed with conventional, nonsurgical endodontics. In our study, we are aimed . to present an overview of the surgical management of recurrent periapical pathologies associated with a non-vital tooth with piezosurgery and to investigate the operative and postoperative outcome differences in patients undergoing piezosurgery and conventional rotary techniques.
