Title: The complete kit for: Simplified endodontic microsurgical procedures

Abstract:

The field of endodontics has seen vast improvements in technology and techniques over the past several years. Perhaps the one area that has improved the most is endodontic surgery.  With the use of state-of-the-art instruments, new and improved materials, along with surgical operating microscope, the gap has narrowed between biological concepts and the ability to achieve consistently successful clinical results. The practice of these techniques is now referred to as endodontic microsurgery. 

An inherent preconceived risk with traditional endodontic surgery was potential damage to major vessels or nerve bundles. Because of excessive osteotomies and steep beveling of root surfaces, unnecessary damage to cortical bone and unfavorable crown/root ratios of existing teeth were observed. These potential problems have been overcome with the use of surgical operating microscopes and refined microsurgical instruments and ultrasonic tips. Other advantages include, easy location of the root apices, small osteotomies, shallower apicoectomies, and further apices can be properly filled with root-end filling materials that are both biocompatible and have osteogenic potential. Keeping this in mind, Al-Fouzan endodontic microsurgical kit contains selected and appropriately designed instruments for microsurgical endodontic procedure which have greater ergonomic flexibility, and more efficient placement of root end fillings.
