title: [Apicoectomy in the lateral dental region as an alternative to implantation].
abstract: At the Department of Oral and Maxillo-facial Surgery of Heidelberg University, apicectomies in posterior teeth have long been performed in addition to implantation. We always aimed at maintaining a vital periodontium, before alloplastic materials for implantation were considered. In follow-up examinations of 247 resected roots of posterior teeth, we recorded a success rate of 90%.
