Abstract

The aim of this manuscript is to describe and discuss the advantages and obstacles of using a guided implant system adapted for endodontic microsurgery in the execution of a case with indication of multiple endodontic microsurgery intervention in a single appointment. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were aligned and processed with the planning software, complementing the Straumann® guided instruments. The drill handles of the system employed directed milling cutters and guided drills based on the sleeve-in-sleeve concept used in the osteotomy and apical resection of teeth #13, #14, #23 and #24. The root-ends were retro-prepared and sealed with putty bioceramic sealer. The patient was completely asymptomatic at the 12 months follow up visit and CBCT revealed complete tissue healing of the involved teeth. The protocol demonstrated to be reliable and reproducible. Its applicability can be extended to other anatomical complex scenarios. The reproducibility of the technique would encourage the maintenance of teeth in patients with indication to multiple endodontic surgery and permitted the conclusion of this case with precision and comfort to both patient and operator.
