PURPOSE: An analysis was made of the association between the endoscopic findings of the sectioned root end surface and healing of the lesion 1 year after periapical surgery, although no studies appear to have analyzed them in relation to healing after periapical surgery.

METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was made of patients subjected to periapical surgery between 2011 and 2019. After apicoectomy, the root end surface was examined, evaluating the number of canals, isthmuses, dentin cracks and craze lines, opaque dentin, and gaps between the filling material and the root canal wall. An analysis (using Generalized Estimating Equation models) was made of the association between the endoscopic findings and healing evaluated by von Arx and Kurt criteria and the modified PENN 3D criteria. The possible influence of patient age and gender and the type of tooth involved on healing was evaluated.

RESULTS: A total of 108 patients (114 teeth and 128 roots) were subjected to periapical surgery. Two or more canals were detected in 27.3% of the roots (8.6% not subjected to orthograde filing), and isthmuses were identified in 18%, craze lines in 7%, cracks in 3.1%, opaque dentin in 69.5%, and gaps in 53.1% of the roots. The healing rate at 1 year according to the criteria of von Arx and Kurt was 95.4% versus 82.2% according to the modified PENN 3D criteria. Failure was more common in roots with cracks, although statistical significance was not reached (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 0.20 [0.01 to 4.04]; P = .200). The rest of the endoscopic findings as well as patient age and gender and the type of tooth did not influence healing (P > .05).

CONCLUSIONS: In the present sample, no statistically significant associations were observed between the endoscopic and healing at 1 year after periapical surgery. Failure was more common in roots with cracks, however.
