Cambios imagenológicos posteriores a cirugía perirradicular utilizando biocerámico mediante tomografía computarizada de rayo de cono (Serie de casos)

Abstract

Summary: Periradicular surgery is an alternative treatment when conventional endodontics fails or cannot be performed for various reasons. This article shows the evolution of 7 teeth treated surgically and apically filled with MRSA. The analysis was performed using cone beam tomography (CBCT) because the periapical region can be observed without any interposition of images in the three sagittal, coronal and axial planes, evaluating them separately, allowing to monitor the healing process of periradicular lesions. A descriptive, observational study of 4 controlled patients at 3, 5, 12 and 18 months was performed, measuring the perimeter and area of the bone crypt and to determine the changes in the image that reflect the favorability of the treatment. Conclusions: In the 7 teeth, favorable bone changes were observed in the perimeter and area during the evaluation period, by means of CBCT reported.
