Impact of high magnification on quality of life after endodontic surgery
Effect Of High Magnification On Quality Of Life And Success After Endodontic Microsurgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This study is testing whether using high-powered microscopes instead of regular glasses during root canal surgery can help patients feel better and have better results afterward.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates the effects of high magnification techniques, specifically using microscopes versus loupes, on the quality of life and success rates following endodontic microsurgery for patients with persistent symptomatic apical periodontitis. The study aims to address the high prevalence of post-treatment apical periodontitis by comparing the outcomes of surgeries performed with different magnification devices. By utilizing a randomized controlled design, the trial seeks to provide robust data on the effectiveness of these techniques in improving surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients aged 18-55 with persistent symptomatic apical periodontitis and radiographic evidence of periapical radiolucency.
Not a fit: Patients with systemic diseases, combined endodontic-periodontic lesions, or those who are pregnant may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved surgical outcomes and enhanced quality of life for patients undergoing endodontic microsurgery.
How similar studies have performed: While there have been various case reports and retrospective studies indicating success with magnification in endodontic surgery, this trial is one of the few prospective studies specifically comparing different magnification devices.
