Endodontic surgery has evolved tremendously in the last decade into a microsurgical procedure. Due to advancements in dental materials and surgical techniques, surgical micro-endodontics has a higher degree of success and a predictable outcome. However, studies with 3D CBCT images revealed incomplete cortical bone healing that was undetectable with 2D images. 3D CBCT evaluations also showed that the cortical bone and the surrounding tissues may not reform to the pre-surgical shape and density. Several grafting materials have been proposed to improve bone remodeling after root-end surgery. However, the benefits of using bone grafting materials in Endodontic surgery remains uncertain. Furthermore, the use of expensive materials may burden patients financially.
This presentation will review and explore the 3D outcomes of endodontic surgery, focusing on the significance of utilizing bone grafting materials to enhance healing and regeneration. By analyzing clinical case studies and patient outcomes, we aim to demonstrate how bone grafts can accelerate bone reformation and long-term stability in endodontic surgeries.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the 3D bone healing.
  • Describe the benefits of using regenerative materials in bone healing.
  • Evaluate the literature on bone grafting materials and case selection.
