title: Anterior apicos in general practice: step-by-step guidelines.
abstract: Apicoectomy and retroseal procedures should continue to be a mainstay of dental treatment because not all root canal therapy is successful, even when it is amenable to retreatment. Currently accepted methods for performing this operation have been reviewed. With appropriate case selection and the careful implementation of these techniques, the general dentist can confidently provide this service to patients.
