title: [Apicoectomy: comparison between 2 case series].
abstract: Data on 2 series of apicectomies performed in 1966-69 and 1978-82 respectively are compared. The comparison was based on clinical assessments and radiographic findings in patients given a repeated check-up a later date. Similar results were obtained in the two series, confirming the importance of scrupulous pre-operative endodontic treatment combined with the use of non-absorbable canal material. It is felt that this, combined with a scrupulously precise periapical surgical technique will ensure total success in all cases.
