Impact of Periodontal Attachment Loss on the Outcome of Endodontic Microsurgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Endodontic microsurgery (EMS) aims to eradicate the sources of infection once the apical root resection removes most of the infected anatomical structures and repairs potential procedural errors in the apical region. An endodontic-periodontal lesion yields a pathological communication between the pulp and the periodontium. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the impact of periodontal attachment loss on the outcome of teeth submitted to EMS. Materials and Methods: PRISMA guidelines were followed. An electronic search was performed in EBSCOhost, Embase and PubMed databases with the following search key: ("endodontic microsurgery" AND "outcome"). No filters were used concerning the year of publication or language. Only randomized c
