The goal of this triple blinded randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of combining different bioactive root end filling materials with composite bone graft (xenogeneic mixed with autogenous bone fragments) on the healing process of periapical tissues after endodontic micro-surgery procedure on patients with small to moderate sized lesions. The main questions it aims to answer are: Will the use of Totalfill in Endodontic surgeries show comparable results to the gold standard MTA? Will the addition of composite bone graft (Xenogenic and Autogenous) affect the healing of small to moderate sized lesions? Is there any interaction between composite bone graft and different bioactive root-end filling materials? Participants were allocated to 4 different groups according to the root-end filling material used with or without bone graft. Reseachers compared between MTA only group, Totalfill only group, MTA with bone group, and Totalfill with bone group to evaluate healing of the periapical lesion using CBCT after 12 months follow up period.
