Guided endodontic microsurgery in apicoectomy: a review
Vol 35, Issue 3S1, 2021
Abstract
The purpose of this review was twofold. The first aim was to show predictable protocols of guided endodontic microsurgery (EMS) and to describe its clinical outcomes. The second aim was to verify the accuracy of this technique compared to the traditional pathway. An electronic search of publications was established from two electronic databases, Cochrane and PubMed, by two independent researchers. The search strategy used a combination of controlled vocabulary and free-text words. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were defined by the authors before the start of the study. Inclusion criteria were: all studies published in English language; studies in vivo on humans; human cadaver studies; studies analyzing guided surgery in apicoectomy. The initial search yielded 67 citations, of which 10 were included. The studies included in this review analysis have shown two different technique both for digitization of dental arch and for surgical procedures too. Guided endodontic micro-surgery is a more predictable technique with less intra-operative and post-operative complications compared to the "freehand" technique and this procedure has shown a greater accuracy.
