Abstract

This paper evaluates the clinical and cost-effectiveness of surgical management of chronic apical periodontitis (K04.5).
Materials and methods.
200 patients, men and women aged 18—65 years were examined. According to the method of treatment, patients were divided into 2 groups: I — endodontic surgery, II — tooth removal with immediate dental implantation with the manufacture of a temporary crown. Based on the results of treatment, the patient’s costs were compared by time and cost, the number of complications, the survival of the tooth/dental implant for 5 years, the recovery index, the state of bone tissue, and the severity of pain (VAS).
Results.
 Endodontic surgery involves 14 services and the duration of treatment is 116 minutes. Immediate implantation with the manufacture of a temporary structure includes a 21 service lasting 322 minutes.
Conclusions.
Comparison of quantitative parameters indicates a significant advantage of immediate dental implantation with fabrication of a temporary crown in terms of both time and cost parameters. Four indicators of comparative clinical and economic effectiveness (indicators of the number of complications, assessment of survival and bone tissue status, assessment of pain by VAS) demonstrate large clinical effects using endodontic surgery.

Key words:

apical periodontitis, endodontic surgery, immediate implantation, clinical and economic effectiveness
