About this trial

The Bone window technique provides excellent access to the surgical site while preserving cortical bone in cases of tooth with large periapical lesion and an intact cortical plate. Traditionally, rotary burs and a bone chisel were used to create a bone window. Piezoelectric bone surgery, on the other hand, is an innovative technique that uses thin osteotomy instrument to selectively cut hard tissue while preserving soft tissues. To the best of our knowledge, no study comparing the results of a bone lid using a piezoelectric device and a conventional bur is currently available.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

clinical assessment

All patients will undergo surgical evaluation 24 h, 48h, 72 h, one week, six months and 12 months after the surgery. Postsurgical pain was measured using the VAS scale.

Time frame
1 year after surgery
2

Radiographic outcome

CBCT will be performed 12 months postoperatively, and the findings will be compared with preoperative CBCT findings to assess the bone defect fill and cortical plate formation using modified PENN 3D criteria and RAC index

Time frame
1 year after surgery
