Abstract
INTRODUCTION: This retrospective study assessed the effects of microsurgical treatment of post-
treatment endodontic disease using SuperEBA (Bosworth, Skokie, IL) as the root-end filling material
and evaluated the potential prognostic factors in relation to outcome.
METHODS: Data were collected from patients diagnosed with post-treatment endodontic disease
who then underwent endodontic microsurgery between April 2007 and October 2010. The effect was
evaluated 2 years after the operation. Surgical procedures were performed by a single endodontic
specialist. After surgery, operation records were recorded including preoperative, intraoperative, and
postoperative factors from the clinical and radiographic measures. For statistical analysis of the
predisposing factors, the dependent variable was the dichotomous outcome (ie, success vs failure).
RESULTS: Eighty-two patients with 101 treated teeth met the inclusion criteria. The recall rate was
87.2%. Of these microsurgically treated cases, the overall healing rate was 93.1%. At the 0.05
significance level, age, sex, tooth position, size of periapical radiolucency, biopsy result of periapical
lesion, and presence of a sinus tract appeared to have no significant effects on the outcome (P >
.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Microsurgical endodontic treatment using SuperEBA as the root-end filling material
is a favorable option for post-treatment endodontic disease.
