The secondary purpose of this research was to evaluate the influence of the GTR technique on the radiographic healing state, taking into account the initial parameters of periapical lesions. In 161 cases, the local factors (volume of a lesion, bone destruction pattern, presence\/absence of cortical bone destruction) were measured using preoperative CBCT images before undergoing EMS. At least one year after surgery, the outcome of EMS was classified as a success or a failure (based on radiographic and clinical criteria). Using postoperative CBCT, treatment-related factors (resection angle, depth of retrograde filling, and length of resected root) were measured. Additionally, the status of radiographic healing was evaluated (in accordance with modified PENN 3D criteria). Eighteen cases (11.18%) were classified as failures, and 143 were classified as successes (88.82%). Univariate analysis showed that there was no statistically significant influence of treatment-related factors on the healing outcome of EMS. An exact Fischer\u2019s test showed the significant impact of GTR on radiographic healing (P &lt; 0.001) in apical lesions (P &lt; 0.001), lesions with a volume between 100 mm3 and 450 mm3 (P &lt; 0.009) and over 450 mm3 (P &lt; 0.001), lesions with the destruction of one plate (P &lt; 0.001), and lesions with the destruction of two plates (through and through) (P = 0.022). The use of GTR in apical lesions, lesions with volumes over 100 mm3, and lesions with the destruction of at least one plate is significantly associated with better radiographic healing.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12196382","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,6]],"date-time":"2023-10-06T07:49:29Z","timestamp":1696578569000},"page":"6382","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Treatment-Related Factors Affecting the Success of Endodontic Microsurgery and the Influence of GTR on Radiographic Healing\u2014A Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4603-4196","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Bieszczad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"NZOZ Centrum Stomatologii s.c.
