[Standardized apical titanium pin for plugging the root canal during apicoectomy]. 1978

W Schilli, and H Niederdellmann, and G Krekeler

A new procedure for apical closure after apical root resection with a metal filling is presented which is easy to handle with appropriately standardized equipment and ensures exact apical closure. By conical preparation of the whole root, a standardized metal peg which resists distortion can be used for anchoring the crown prosthesis without further preparation. Temporarily a standardized guttapercha peg can be used for closure. Even if renewed work on the root becomes necessary later, the apical metal closure remains firm because of its wedging.
