Apical Root Resorption, Microapical Surgery Management of Root Resorption

Abstract

When the apical root is removed during apical surgery, the crown-to-root ratio is altered in a manner that is not desirable. The crown-to-root ratio has been utilized for teeth that have periodontal disease. It is important to note that apical root excision is not the same as periodontal bone loss here. Microsurgery in endodontics allows for the realization of a 0 degree or shallow bevel, as well as the precise length of root excision, and it also reduces the width of the osteotomy in the longitudinal direction. For the purpose of determining the prosthodontic prognosis of the teeth that have been apically removed, the crown-to-root ratio is not an acceptable metric. For the purpose of preventing endo-perio communication, it is vital to perform endodontic microsurgery with precision in order to protect the buccal bone.
