16
Q

Surgical removal of the apical portion of the root.

A

Apicoectomy

17
Q

Use this bur to do an apicoectomy.

A

Tapered fissure

18
Q

How much root is removed in an apicoectomy?

A

3 mm

19
Q

Why remove 3 mm in apicoectomy?

A

Removes 98% of apical ramifications.

Removes 93% of lateral canals.

20
Q

What kind of bevel is placed in an apicoectomy?

A

0-10 degree bevel in the bucco-lingual plane

21
Q

Why a 0-10 degree bevel in an apicoectomy?

A

Parallels the dentinal tubules so there’s less open for bacteria to escape (apical leakage).

22
Q

A cavity created to receive a root-end filling during periradicular surgery or intentional replantation.

A

Retroprep (root-end filling)

23
Q

Ultrasonic tips are used to make a 3 mm Class I prep in the canal

A

Retroprep

24
Q

Materials used for retrofill

A

MTA and SuperEBA

25
Q

Only this retrofill material allows for regeneration of periradicular tissues.

A

MTA

26
Q

Restorative material placed in the root-end preparation during periradicular surgery to enhance the seal of the root canal where orthograde obturatio hasbeen not great.

A

Retrofill

27
Q

Monofilament suture preferred for periapical surgery?

A

Monofilament= reduces wicking

PTFE

28
Q

Where do you NOT tie the knot for the suture?

A

On the incision line

29
Q

Initial success rates are higher for surgical or non-surgical?

A

Surgical

30
Q

T/F: With time, the non-surgical success rates roughly equate surgical.

A

True

31
Q

Slower healing in ___________;

Late failures in ______________.

A

Non-surgical; Surgical

32
Q

Surgical removal of all of the root and ahderent soft tissues, leaving the crown of the tooth intact and supported by the remaining roots.

A

Root amputation

33
Q

Indicated when one root has severe PD, is untreatable thru RCT, or fractured.

A

Root amputation

34
Q

Most commonly amputated root.

A

DB of maxillary molar

35

Q

How are mandibular molars hemisected?

A

BL

37
Q

How are maxillary molars hemisected?

A

MD

38
Q

Surgical division of a mandibular molar through the furcation in which both halves are retained and restored.

A

Bicuspidization

39
Q

Indicated when there’s severe furcation involvement in periodontal disease, or severe furcation perforation.

A

Bicuspidization
