Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Amount of peri-apical bone healing
Amount of periapical bone healing in time: measured with Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT).
Secondary Outcome Measures
Patient related outcomes
Pain assessed with a Visual Analogue Scale ranging from 0 to 10 each day during the first 7 days post-op.
Patient related outcomes
Pain assessed with a questionnaire asking about analgesics usage each day during 7 days post-op.
Patient related outcomes
Discomfort assessed with a Visual Analogue Scale ranging from 1 to 5 each day during the first 7 days post-op.
Bone or scar tissue healing
Bone or scar tissue healing: Volumetric analysis using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography. Pre-operative CBCT data will be matched with the post-op CBCT scans in order to assess the volumetric changes during 1 year.
Success & survival rate
Success & survival rate
Dentinal defects
Dentinal defects: in the apical root before and after resection. Potential cracks and fractures that occur during the follow-up period will be assessed on CBCT en reported.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This study evaluates the effect of leucocyte and platelet rich fibrin Block (L-PRF Block) during endodontic microsurgery (EMS) on patient's post-operative comfort and periapical bone healing in large peri-apical lesions.
Detailed Description
This study evaluates the effect of leucocyte and platelet rich fibrin Block (L-PRF Block) during endodontic microsurgery (EMS) on patient's post-operative comfort and periapical bone healing in large peri-apical lesions. The trial design is an open randomized controlled clinical trial with two groups. Half of the participants will receive EMS with L-PRF Block (experimental group), the other half without (control group).
