In vivo Comparative Study to Evaluate the Healing after Apicectomy by Using Two Different Techniques


Abstract in English

The aim of this study is to evaluate the healing after apicectomy by using two different techniques. And to evaluate the effect of MTA as a retrograde filling material and also the Er:YAG laser as a tool for resecting the apex, and the influence of them in the healing.
