title: [The use of biocompatible materials in apicoectomy].
abstract: The use of more biocompatible materials in comparison with silver, gutta-percha and amalgam was introduced a decade ago. First titanium was used, later followed by alumina. Both clinical as well as radiological results favor their use. Yet it appears that the system is mainly confined to the maxillary front teeth and mandibular canines.
