In 29 teeth, apicoectomies with retrograde instrumentation and retrofilling with low temperature thermoplasticized gutta-percha were performed. Nineteen of them were clinically an radiographically evaluated, showing the following average rate: successes 84.2
(2 cases) and incomplete healing 5.2
(1 case). The observation period varied from 12 to 41 months. The use of retrograde instrumentation an retrofilling with thermoplasticized gutta-percha is suggested as a useful method in surgical procedures.
