Outcome assessment of apical surgery: A study of 234 teeth

ConclusionGender, age, preoperative root canal filling material extent, lesion size and follow-up period may affect the outcome of apical surgery. Tooth type, post, prosthesis, and lesion area showed no marked effect on apical healing. These results provide more detailed information for the clinical practitioners to make treatment plans and are important for clinical endodontic practices.
