Endodontic microsurgery is a highly successful procedure, given appropriate case selection and the use of modern techniques. The incorporation of the latest technologies, such as piezosurgical instruments, cone beam computed tomography, microscopes, and biological materials, provides endodontists with the tools for precise planning of minimally invasive surgical procedures, even in the immediate vicinity of important anatomical structures such as the mandibular nerve and the maxillary sinus.
This session will demonstrate the management of complex endodontic microsurgery cases using a case-based format, highlighting indications, planning, and clinical aspects of apical microsurgery.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe how a thorough initial clinical and radiographic examination can assess case prognosis, evaluate the reasons for treatment failure, and determine the need for endodontic microsurgery.
  • Explore the benefits of CBCT imaging in evaluating endodontic microsurgery as a treatment option and to demonstrate how this imaging modality enhances procedural execution once surgery is decided.
  • Describe how accurate preoperative diagnosis and the use of microsurgical techniques facilitate the treatment of complex cases near critical anatomical structures, ensuring the highest level of procedural safety.
