Apicoectomy (Endodontic Surgery)

A precise microsurgical procedure used to treat persistent infection at the root tip, preserving your natural tooth when standard root canal therapy isn’t enough.

About Apicoectomy

Sometimes the cause of persistent tooth problems extends beyond bacteria inside the root canal system. In these cases, traditional non-surgical treatments may not be sufficient to resolve the issue. An apicoectomy—also known as endodontic microsurgery—is a highly effective procedure that allows us to directly address problems at the root tip and surrounding tissues.

Using advanced microsurgical techniques, aided by a surgical operating microscope and specialized instruments, we can precisely treat areas that would otherwise be inaccessible. These modern methods greatly improve the long-term prognosis of teeth that might otherwise be lost, offering patients a chance to preserve their natural tooth structure whenever possible.

There are several indications where endodontic surgery may be recommended, including:

Drainage and comfort: Relieving pain and evacuating toxins in cases of severe abscess.

Persistent infection: Addressing infection caused by previous root canal treatments that were over- or under-filled.

Structural complications: Repairing perforations of tooth structure that compromise tooth integrity.

Challenging anatomy: Managing complex root shapes or anomalies that make conventional root canal therapy ineffective.

Restoration limitations: Situations where non-surgical retreatment is impractical due to existing crowns, bridges, or other definitive restorations.

By targeting the problem directly at the source, an apicoectomy provides a predictable solution for maintaining oral health, eliminating infection, and preserving your natural smile.
