【 摘 要 】

AimTo determine the efficacy of endodontic microsurgery for teeth with an undeveloped root apex and periapical periodontitis caused by an abnormal central cusp fracture after failed nonsurgical treatment.MethodologyEighty teeth in 78 patients were subjected to endodontic microsurgery. All patients were clinically and radiologically examined 1 year postoperatively. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 27.0 software.ResultsOf the 80 teeth in 78 patients, periapical lesions had disappeared in 77 teeth at 1-year postoperative follow-up, with a success rate of approximately 96.3% (77/80). The efficacy of endodontic microsurgery was not affected by sex, age, extent of periapical lesions, and presence of the sinus tract. Between-group differences were not statistically significant (P > 0.05).ConclusionsEndodontic microsurgery can be an effective alternative treatment option for teeth with an undeveloped root apex and periapical periodontitis caused by an abnormal central cusp fracture after nonsurgical treatment failure.
