Meta-AnalysisOutcome of Endodontic Surgery: A Meta-analysis of the Literature—Part 2: Comparison of Endodontic Microsurgical Techniques with and without the Use of Higher Magnification
Section snippets
Materials and Methods
According to the PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) format, the following research question had been formulated before the search for matching publications: Teeth that have undergone a root-end surgery and root-end filling procedure (population) by EMS (intervention) compared with CRS (comparison) have what expected probability of success according to longitudinal studies with strictly defined inclusion and exclusion criteria (outcome)?”
Inclusion and Exclusion of Studies
In total, 1,189 citations were reviewed, 1,088 eliminated, and 101 reviewed. Of the 101 citations obtained after abstract and full-text review, a total of 14 records were included in this second part of the meta-analysis 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23. Data from 2 articles were used for CRS as well as EMS 12, 15, bringing the total number to 7 datasets for CRS 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 9 datasets for EMS 12, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23. There were 6 randomized
Discussion
Over the past decade, endodontic surgery has evolved into endodontic microsurgery by the introduction of the surgical microscope 45, 108, 109, 110 and/or the endoscope 111, 112. Although the use of the surgical microscope in general dentistry is still debated, its use for nonsurgical and surgical endodontics has become a routine procedure for endodontists since the 1990s and has been made a requirement for postgraduate education in the United States in 1998 (113). Based on a survey among active
