Brief Summary
Aims: The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to assess and compare the post operative pain, swelling and quality of life after endodontic microsurgery using either conventional osteotomy or piezoelectric osteotomy . The PICO question that will be used is Does endodontic microsurgery using piezoelectric osteotomy have similar clinical performance in terms of post operative pain and swelling to that of endodontic microsurgery using conventional hand-piece osteotomy. Material and methods: based on solid inclusion criteria , a total of 44 patients in need of endodontic microsurgery will be randomly distributed into two groups (n=22) according to the osteotomy technique: conventional and piezoelectric osteotomy. A standardized microsurgical technique will be employed. After the microsurgery procedure, a pain questionnaire that contain visual analogue scale will be given to each patient to evaluate the pain incidence and intensity at 5 time intervals, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours and 120 hours. The patients will be recalled as well, at days 2 and 7 to evaluate the swelling. Statistical analysis will be performed using chi-square test and linear regression analysis.
