ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcome of placement of titanium-alloy endodontic implants in conjunction with periradicular surgery. STUDY DESIGN: Twenty-four teeth were treated with endodontic implants with corresponding periradicular surgery by using SuperEBA cement (Harry J Bosworth Co, Skokie, Ill) as a sealer. The results of the endodontic implant surgery were evaluated clinically and radiographically from 2 to 4 years after treatment. RESULTS: Twenty-two teeth were treated successfully, whereas 2 teeth were treated unsuccessfully, for a success rate of 92%. CONCLUSIONS: Titanium-alloy endodontic implants in conjunction with periradicular surgery may provide good short-term results. Sealing between the endodontic implant and the dentin is likely an important factor for success.
