Objective: The outcome of apical surgery using modern techniques is favourable. However, the presence of a combined apicomarginal defect may negatively affect the postsurgical healing. The objective of this retro- spective analysis was to assess the healing of teeth with apicomarginal defects treated with apical surgery and enamel matrix derivative (EMD).
Methods: This retrospective study evaluated the application of EMD in apical surgery of 17 teeth with api- comarginal defects. Cases were followed for at least 1 year, and healing was classified based on established clinical and radiographic criteria.
Results: The patient sample included nine females and eight males with a mean age of 50±18.2 years. Max- illary incisors (six lateral and four central) were the most frequently treated teeth. The majority of apico- marginal defects was located on the facial aspect of the root (70.6%) and belonged to defect class I (76.5%). Follow-up periods ranged from 1 to 5 years. Healing was successful in 14 teeth (82.4%).
Conclusion: The application of EMD resulted in a similar outcome as in previously published clinical studies related to regenerative techniques for the treatment of apicomarginal defects in conjunction with apical surgery.
