Effect of high magnification on quality of life and success after endodontic surgery: a randomized controlled trial"
Patients between age of 18-55 with the diagnosis of persistent symptomatic apical periodontitis in previously treated teeth with radiographic evidence of periapical radiolucency (≥ 5 mm). (Bharathi et al 2021) Tooth with a peri radicular lesion of strictly endodontic origin and unrestorable by nonsurgical retreatment. ASA-1 patients according to the classification of the American Society of Anesthesiologists).

Quality of life assessment
To determine the quality of life after endodontic microsurgery with high and low magnification using modified version of sugars et al and OHIP by tsesis et al. assessed by 5-point Likert scale till 1 week.
Healing assessment
2D radiographic healing was assessed by the criteria followed by RUD et al and MOLVEN et al , 3D CBCT healing was assessed by modified PENN'S criteria
