The use of ultrasound in periapical curettage: case report
Journal Title: RSBO - Year 2010, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction and objective: This study aimed to demonstrate the possibility of treatment, through periapical curettage with the aid of ultrasound, consequently without the need of resection of root’s apical portion. Case report: The endodontic treatment of tooth #41 and retreatment of tooth #42 was performed. Following, the periapical lesion areas were submitted to parendodontic surgery. After a 2-year follow-up period, it could be verified a total lesion area regression and bone repair. Conclusion: The association of technology with clinical practice seemed to result in a faster, safer, and more conservative surgical treatment.
