AIM. The aim of this study was to evaluate patient experience of quality of life following apicoectomy using two different techniques: preoperative and intra operative ortograde canal opturation.
MATERIAL AND METHOD. The study consisted of 40 patients referred for oral surgical treatment (apicectomy with periapical osteotomy). All patients were given a questionnaire with 15 questions to evaluate their quality of life for 7 days after the oral surgery interventions. RESULTS. The average time needed for completion the surgical procedure was approximately 35 minutes.
The results showed that patients in Group 1 reported significantly more pain and took significantly more analgesics on day 5. On days 1 and 2, patients of the Group 2 reported significantly more difficulty in mouth opening, mastication, and the ability to speak.
