Using a new piezoelectric device for endodontic microsurgery
Outcome of Bone Window Approach in Endodontic Microsurgery Using Novel Piezoelectric Device Versus Conventional Rotary Burs in the Treatment of Periapical Lesions - a Randomized Controlled Trial
This study is testing a new tool for dental surgery to see if it can help patients with chronic tooth infections heal better and keep more of their bone compared to traditional methods.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates the bone window approach in endodontic microsurgery, utilizing a novel piezoelectric device to enhance surgical precision while preserving cortical bone. The study aims to compare the outcomes of this innovative technique against traditional methods that use rotary burs and bone chisels. By focusing on patients with chronic apical periodontitis and periapical lesions, the trial seeks to determine the effectiveness of this minimally invasive procedure in promoting healing and maintaining bone structure. Participants will undergo periapical surgery with the goal of improving recovery and reducing complications associated with conventional techniques.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are consenting adults aged 18-60 with symptomatic apical periodontitis and intact buccal cortical plates.
Not a fit: Patients with systemic diseases, pregnancy, or those on anticoagulant medications may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved healing outcomes and reduced complications for patients undergoing endodontic microsurgery.
How similar studies have performed: While this specific approach is novel, similar studies using piezoelectric devices in surgical procedures have shown promising results.
