About this study

All 73 patients, who have been treated with apicoectomy on teeth with post and core and crown between the years 2004 and 2006 and who have already been followed up in 2008, will be followed up once more in 2017.

The patients will have a clinical and radiologic examination. The investigators will examine if new periapical lesions, bone loss, fracture of teeth or loss of teeth exist.

Who can participate

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Treatment and study plan

x-rays

Diagnostic Test

To get further and actual information about periapical lesions, different x-rays will be done (panoramic radiographic, small picture ray, cone beam computed tomography). Furthermore a periodontal status will be performed.

Primary outcomes

  1. Appearance of periapical lesions on tooth after root resection

    Time frame: 1 day

    Appearance assessed by X-ray and classified according to Molven et al. (1987)

  2. Size of periapical lesions on tooth after root resection

    Time frame: 1 day

    Size assessed by X-ray and classified according to Molven et al. (1987)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Vertical and horizontal bone loss on the tooth after root resection

    Time frame: 1 day

    Bone loss in mm assessed by X-ray and probing

  2. Occurrence of tooth fractures

    Time frame: 1 day

    Number of tooth fractures assessed by X-ray

  3. Occurrence of tooth loss

    Time frame: 1 day

    Number of tooth losses assessed by clinical and radiological evaluation
