About this study

Official title: Clinical and Radiographic Success of Guided Versus Conventional Periapical Endodontic Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study is to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes after guided periapical endodontic surgery versus conventional endodontic surgery.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes after guided periapical endodontic surgery versus conventional endodontic surgery. Patients having mandibular posterior teeth indicated for endodontic surgery will be selected. Full medical and dental history will be obtained from all patients. Patients will be randomly assigned to either guided endodontic surgery or conventional endodontic surgery. Surgical procedures will be done under magnification. Root-end cavities will be filled using MTA.Post surgical instrucions will be given to patients. Surgical time will be recorded. Clinical and radiographic success will be asses at 6 and 12 month.

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical success

    Clinical assessment using a scale by friedman et al 2005 (healed, healing and persisting disease) which healed mean absence of clinical signs and symptoms, persisting disease mean presence of clinical signs and symptoms

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Radio graphic Success

    Radiograhic assessment using a scale by friedman et al 2005 (healed, healing and persisting disease) which healed mean radiographic classification of complete healing or incomplete healing, persisting disease mean radiographic classification of unsatisfactory healing.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Time of surgery

    Recording the surgical time in minutes.

    Measured: During surgery
