Endodontic problems resulting from surgical fistulation: report of two cases.
The use of surgical fistulation after endodontic therapy caused clinical problems for two patients. Only one patient was treated successfully for restoration of a molar; for the second, surgery was not advised. Analgesics and antibiotics may be better initial therapy than use of fistulation.
