Targeted Endodontic Microsurgery: Implications of the Greater Palatine Artery

Abstract

Introduction: Targeted Endodontic Microsurgery (TEMS) combines trephine burs and 3D-printedguides to make flapless maxillary palatal root-end surgery possible. This study assessed the location of the greater palatine artery (GPA), the relationship of the GPA to maxillary molar root ends, and the feasibility of flapless palatal-approach TEMS.
