This study evaluated the results of periradicular surgery performed using ultrasonic root-end preparation.
The course of healing during observation periods ranging from 6 months to 3 years was examined in 157 teeth.
One hundred forty-five teeth were successfully treated, for a success rate of 92.4%.
It was concluded that the ultrasonic root-end preparation technique for periradicular surgery is a simple procedure that provides excellent results.
