“…Enterococcus faecalis is the most common causative bacterium of these infections, and Candida albicans is the most common causative fungus; both these organisms can be isolated from teeth with periapical lesions 7,8) . Amalgam, gutta-percha, zinc-oxide-eugenol cements, composite resin with and without bonding agent, resin-modified glass ionomers, and calcium silicate-based materials (iRoot BP, mineral trioxide aggregate [MTA], e.g) have been used as root-end filling materials 2,9,10) . MTA (Dentsply, Tulsa Dental, Germany) has been favoured as the gold standard because of its high sealing ability and biocompatibility 11) .…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate, in vitro, the antimicrobial effect of iRoot BP, iRoot BP Plus, and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) against Entercoccus faecalis and Candida albicans by using direct contact test. The materials were tested immediately after application to the microtiter wells and after setting for 1-day and for 7-days. Ten microliters of microbial suspension was added to each well for direct contact with each material for 1 h at 37°C and 100% humidity. Then fresh media was added and, survival of bacteria and fungi was determined by using 10-fold serial dilution and inoculated onto agar plates. In fresh and 1-day samples all of tested materials showed statistically significant antimicrobial effects compared to control groups (p<0.05). In 7-day samples, there were no significantly differences compared to control groups. MTA, iRoot BP and iRoot BP Plus had similar antimicrobial efficacy against E. faecalis and C. albicans.

“…Most studies measuring success rates of conventional periapical surgery are on small cohorts, case control studies (level 1C of the Oxford Centre for evidence-based medicine levels of evidence) or case reports (level 5 of the Oxford Centre for evidence-based medicine levels of evidence) [32,33]. Studies furthermore rarely distinguish between the cysts and granulomas [34,35].…”

-Objectives:Primary aim is to quantify the success rate of periapical surgery. Secondary objectives include the determination of the histological nature of the lesions, and the incidence of the different teeth on which this surgery is performed. Study design: This is a prospective cohort study conducted in one centre. The same operator following a standardized surgical protocol performed all surgeries. Follow-up (including clinical examination and periapical X-ray) was conducted at day 7, and months 6, 12 and 18. Statistical analysis included determination of the mean, standard deviation and paired two-tailed Student's t-test, for each of the variables. Results: 132 periapical surgeries were performed on 114 patients. Success and failure rate at 18 months, are 90%, and 6%, and uncertain in 4%. Histopathology confirmed that 72% of the lesions were granulomas, and 28% cysts. Periapical surgery pertains mostly to maxillary (70%) and posterior teeth (70%). Conclusion: Prognosis of conventional periapical surgery is very good. Failure rate peaks at 7 months, written informed consent is paramount.A radiolucent apex after endodontic treatment is a common finding with up to 45% of the treated teeth in certain studies [1,2]. These lesions can be found during a routine check-up, or during an emergency appointment when associated with pain. As orofacial pain is ascribed to periapical abscesses in 25% of the patients [3], these periapical radiolucencies, in the context of periapical surgery, can be a diagnostic challenge. Periapical abscesses are the consequence of a bacterial infection of the root canals [4]. Treatment classically consists of the elimination of necrotic and infected tissue, followed by obturation of the root canal system and a sealed restoration of the crown. Periapical surgery is indicated when root canal retreatment has failed or is contraindicated [4]. An osteo-mucoperiosteal flap followed by the appropriate osteotomy allows access to the apex of the tooth. The lesion is removed and the root canal system sealed [4]. Success rates reported vary between 40% [5] and 97% [6]. Correspondence: alpalantar@wanadoo.fr The main objective of this study is to assess the success rate of periapical surgery using a standardized protocol. Secondary objectives include the determination of the histological appearance of the lesions (granulomas or cysts), the incidence of the different teeth on which this surgery is performed, and the recurrence frequency.

“…Silver Amalgam has been in use as a root-end filling material since 1884 (Farrar 1884 in Gutmann and Harrison 1999) [3]. Amalgam remains a standard to which all other materials are compared.…”
