title: [Apicoectomy: indications].
abstract: Chronic apical periodontitis and apical cyst are chronologically different expressions of a chronic, productive-type inflammatory process. Treatment, however, differs with cases. As X-ray diagnosis is generally impossible, endodontic treatment is the first therapeutic action required. If no remission is seen, surgery is necessary, with curettage in the event of apical integrity, and apicectomy otherwise.
