[Indications for surgical endodontics].
In the last decade the number of absolute indications for periapical surgery (no alternative, except for extraction) is increasing. In an increasing number of clinical situations periapical surgery has to be considered as a kind of ultimum refugium-therapy to save the tooth. Because of this shift the percentage of success of the surgical procedure has decreased. Moreover, the degree of difficulty of the treatment is increasing by a dorsal shift with regard to the teeth to be treated.
