Precise Endodontic Surgery for Lasting Tooth Health
Endodontic surgery, also known as an apicoectomy, is typically performed when a root canal treatment fails to resolve an infection or when it reoccurs. While a second root canal is usually considered first, endodontic surgery becomes necessary for more complex cases. Prior to the procedure, local anesthesia is administered to ensure comfort. The surgeon then makes an incision to access the root of the tooth and removes any infected tissue. Using precise instruments and magnification, a small portion of the root is carefully removed. Following this, a filling is placed, and the gums are sutured. Depending on the sutures used, a follow-up appointment may be required. Over time, the bone heals around the root, leading to successful outcomes in most cases.
