Endodontic Surgery (Apicoectomy)
Specialized microsurgical treatment used when conventional root canal treatment requires additional intervention to eliminate root-tip infection.
What is Endodontic Surgery?
Endodontic surgery (commonly known as an apicoectomy or root-end resection) is a minor microsurgical procedure performed when inflammation or infection persists in the bony area around the very tip of a tooth's root after standard root canal treatment.
Instead of accessing through the crown, the surgeon accesses the root tip directly through the gum, removes the infected root tip (apex), cleans the area, and places a biocompatible filling to seal the root from the bottom.
