“…Surgical endodontic approach is considered in cases with difficultly in access for conventional nonsurgical treatment or retreatment, or where access to the periapical area is essential to aid diagnosis [20]. In this case, exploratory surgery was suggested because of unknown reason of swelling after treatment.…”

Root canal perforation due to root resorption is a challenging clinical circumstance to properly diagnose and treat, particularly when it occurs in anterior teeth. Extraction of the involved tooth and subsequent replacement with an osseointegrated implant is usually indicated in many cases. This study presents a case management of a maxillary central incisor with perforating internal root resorption in the coronal third of the root. The treatment plan consisted of endodontic treatment with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate, surgical operation, internal bleaching and coronal restoration.

“…Prior to attending for consultation, patients often have misconceptions about the appropriateness of an Apicectomy due to poor quality information on the Internet. Apicectomy has a wide range in success rate of 45–95% and a decision to perform surgery has to be carefully considered. Patients can be dissatisfied when treatment fails or is deemed inappropriate at the consultation.…”

Background: Patientsoften have misconceptions about the appropriateness of an Apiceptomy, partly due to poor quality information on the Internet. Clinical consequences include a patient's false expectations of preserving a tooth that is of a poor prognosis or conversely the loss of a tooth that had the potential to be saved. Aim: To assess the quality of information available for patients on Apicectomy. Materials and methods: We conducted a quality assessment of online information relating to Apicectomies using the DISCERN instrument. Results: Fifteen websites met the inclusion criteria, of which one had 'good' quality, seven were of 'fair' quality, and seven had 'poor' quality. Furthermore, no websites were of 'excellent' or 'very poor' quality. Conclusions: Our results are in line with the literature demonstrating poor quality online health information. Furthermore, we find that websites authored by dentists do not have a superior quality to those with unspecified authors. We propose that practitioners can adopt a proactive role. For example, Wikipedia was the first search result, yet was of 'poor quality'. Due to Wikipedia being a user-generated website, practitioners can revise its content to enhance the quality of information. Such action may lead to better-informed patients, more dynamic doctor-patient relationship, and reduction in the gap between the expectations of patients and realities of Apicectomy outcomes. Clinical relevance Scientific rationale for studyApicectomy is a procedure that most patients have not had previous experience of, neither personal nor second hand. Patients are susceptible to misleading information when using the Internet to gain information. The quality of this information is therefore important to be scrutinised. Principal findingsA total of 15 websites met the inclusion criteria, of which none were of excellent quality and seven were of poor quality. Practical implicationsIt is of utmost important to ascertain patients' understanding of Apicectomy and understand why misconceptions may arise. These must be dispelled in order to allow informed patient consent and realistic expectations.Oral Surgery 10 (2017) e35--e39.

“…Apicectomy has a disparate success rate of 45-95% (Evans et al, 2012), and oral surgeons need to apply stringent criteria for a clinical decision to perform the operation. It results in collateral damage to the underlying bone structure, and in cases that the procedure fails, the patient will require a bone graft if they decide to replace the lost tooth with a dental implant.…”

Exercising soft closure on lay health knowledge? Harnessing the declining power of the medical profession to improve online health information

This study aims to address the increasingly complex medical predicament of low quality online health information contributing to lay health knowledge and consequently to clinical outcomes. We situate the predicament within a social change paradigm of individualism, choice, diminishing medical power, and emergence of the legitimacy of lay health knowledge. We contend that the prominence of lay health knowledge has been facilitated by the internet, and is due to a surge in broadcasting of experiential knowledge coupled with increased access to and enactment of medical and non-medically sanctioned online information on health and illness. We draw on and further test the application of social closure theory to help conceive a potential solution to this enduring problem. We conduct a quality assessment of an indicative case study, Apicectomies, and test the application of our notion of soft closure on its findings, resulting in targeted, feasible and potentially beneficial solutions to increasing the medical quality of online health information. We further present the extant application of soft closure by Healthtalkonline.org, which collates a medically reliable set of experiential knowledge on a range of health issues. As such, we propose a constructive re-enactment of the traditional closure of the medical profession on medical knowledge. 2 Abstract word count: 201
