2D and 3D radiographic outcome assessment of the effect of guided tissue regeneration using resorbable collagen membrane in the healing of through‐and‐through periapical lesions – a randomized controlled trial

Abstract

Periapical surgery with or without GTR was a predictable and viable solution for through-and-through lesions. There was no benefit in using a collagen membrane with regard to the outcome of periapical surgery in through-and-through lesions. Both cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and periapical radiographs (PA) allowed similar assessment of healing after periapical surgery.
