Brief Summary

This prospective comparative randomized clinical trial compares healing and bony regeneration in patients who received 1 of 3 different retrograde filling materials following microsurgical apicoectomies for the treatment of periapical lesions of endodontic origin.

Detailed Description

A prospective comparative randomized clinical trial was designed to evaluate the healing and bony regeneration in patients who received 1 of 3 different retrograde filling materials (EndoSequence®, ProRoot® MTA, or Biodentine®) following microsurgical apicoectomies for the treatment of periapical lesions of endodontic origin.
