Many materials have been used as retrograde fillings. Zinc oxide and eugenol, cavit, composite, gold foils, and other materials have been used in an attempt to seal the apical extent of the root canal. However, the most common material is amalgam.

When a tooth with an apical lesion is identified, an apicoectomy is frequently performed when nonsurgical treatment is considered unfeasible or has previously failed. However, the treatment is usually difficult in molars. This article describes a minimally invasive procedure for removing a gutta-percha point under the maxillary sinus mucosa using an ultrathin arthroscope and a visualization approach in apicoectomy using an intranasal endoscope. These surgical techniques using endoscopes are minimally invasive and reliable procedures that provide limited incision and bone removal and respect the integrity of the maxillary sinus.

Comparative Study Meta-Analysis Review
INTRODUCTION
The aim of this study was to investigate the outcome of root-end surgery. The specific outcome of traditional root-end surgery (TRS) versus endodontic microsurgery (EMS) and the probability of success for comparison of the 2 techniques were determined by means of meta-analysis and systematic review of the literature.
METHODS
An intensive search of the literature was conducted to identify longitudinal studies evaluating the outcome of root-end surgery. Three electronic databases (Medline, Embase, and PubMed) were searched to identify human studies from 1966 to October 2009 in 5 different languages (English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish). Relevant articles and review papers were searched for cross-references. Five pertinent journals (Journal of Endodontics, International Endodontic Journal, Oral Surgery Oral Medicine Oral Pathology Oral Radiology and Endodontics, Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery) were individually searched back to 1975. Three independent reviewers (S.S., M.K., and F.S.) assessed the abstracts of all articles that were found according to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Relevant articles were acquired in full-text form, and raw data were extracted independently by each reviewer. Qualifying papers were assigned to group TRS or group EMS. Weighted pooled success rates and relative risk assessment between TRS and EMS were calculated. A comparison between the groups was made by using a random effects model.
RESULTS
Ninety-eight articles were identified and obtained for final analysis. In total, 21 studies qualified (12 for TRS [n = 925] and 9 for EMS [n = 699]) according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Weighted pooled success rates calculated from extracted raw data showed 59% positive outcome for TRS (95% confidence interval, 0.55-0.6308) and 94% for EMS (95% confidence interval, 0.8889-0.9816). This difference was statistically significant (P < .0005). The relative risk ratio showed that the probability of success for EMS was 1.58 times the probability of success for TRS.
CONCLUSIONS
The use of microsurgical techniques is superior in achieving predictably high success rates for root-end surgery when compared with traditional techniques.

This article introduces a new method of combining the oral surgery and oral prosthesis into one operation. This method can greatly shorten treatment time. It is used to treat a badly decayed tooth with an apical lesion and to repair it with a post crown at the same time. Since March 1975 more than 20 cases have been treated in this manner with a favorable outcome.

Comparative Study
Data on 2 series of apicectomies performed in 1966-69 and 1978-82 respectively are compared. The comparison was based on clinical assessments and radiographic findings in patients given a repeated check-up a later date. Similar results were obtained in the two series, confirming the importance of scrupulous pre-operative endodontic treatment combined with the use of non-absorbable canal material. It is felt that this, combined with a scrupulously precise periapical surgical technique will ensure total success in all cases.
