Occlusal adjustment as an adjunct to surgical periodontal therapy vs Surgical periodontal therapy alone (no occlusal adjustment)

Attachment change · Adults with chronic periodontitis

Occlusal adjustment as an adjunct to surgical periodontal therapy led to higher clinical attachment level change (mean gain, mm) compared with surgical periodontal therapy alone (no occlusal adjustment); GRADE not reported.

Root-end resection (with or without root-end filling; surgical retreatment) vs Non-surgical re-treatment (orthograde root canal therapy)

Prevalence of pain - 1 day · People with one or more endodontically treated teeth and a periapical condition requiring retreatment

Root-end resection (with or without root-end filling; surgical… may leads to higher prevalence of pain - 1 day (participants reporting pain) compared with root canal retreatment (non-surgical/orthograde) (low certainty).

It is very uncertain whether root-end resection (with or without root-end filling; surgical… changes healing - 1 year compared with root canal retreatment (non-surgical/orthograde) (very low certainty).
