Targeted Endodontic Microsurgery: A Retrospective Outcomes Assessment of 24 Cases
Abstract
Targeted Endodontic Microsurgery (TEMS) replaces freehand carbide or diamond bur osteotomy and root end resection with a guided approach using an end-cutting trephine burrotated within a guide tube. TEMS departs from traditional endodontic microsurgery (EMS) in osteotomy size, control of resection level and bevel, surgical time and resection method, yet the impact of these departures upon clinical outcomes has yet to be assessed. The aim of this study is to assess clinical outcomes of TEMS surgeries at least one year after treatment.
