The purpose of the study is to evaluate the longterm treatment results after micro-surgical root resection of teeth with post and core and crown.

Read the detailed description

All 73 patients, who have been treated with apicoectomy on teeth with post and core and crown between the years 2004 and 2006 and who have already been followed up in 2008, will be followed up once more in 2017.

The patients will have a clinical and radiologic examination. The investigators will examine if new periapical lesions, bone loss, fracture of teeth or loss of teeth exist.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • x-raysDiagnostic test

    To get further and actual information about periapical lesions, different x-rays will be done (panoramic radiographic, small picture ray, cone beam computed tomography). Furthermore a periodontal status will be performed.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Appearance of periapical lesions on tooth after root resection

    Appearance assessed by X-ray and classified according to Molven et al. (1987)

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Size of periapical lesions on tooth after root resection

    Size assessed by X-ray and classified according to Molven et al. (1987)

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Vertical and horizontal bone loss on the tooth after root resection

    Bone loss in mm assessed by X-ray and probing

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Occurrence of tooth fractures

    Number of tooth fractures assessed by X-ray

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Occurrence of tooth loss

    Number of tooth losses assessed by clinical and radiological evaluation

    Measured: 1 day
