Understanding Root-End Surgery

What Is an Apicoectomy?

An apicoectomy, also known as root-end surgery, is a precise dental procedure that removes the tip of a tooth root and infected tissue when a previous root canal has not fully resolved the problem.

The procedure is designed to help preserve the natural tooth by accessing the infected area through a small gum incision, removing the affected root end, cleaning the area and sealing the root canal end.

Your Apicoectomy Treatment

What Apicoectomy Includes & How It Works

Apicoectomy treatment begins with detailed examination and imaging to identify the source and location of infection.

Detailed Examination

A thorough examination and digital imaging are used to locate the infection and assess the tooth and surrounding structures.

Digital Imaging

Modern diagnostic imaging helps the dentist accurately identify the affected root tip and surrounding area.

Local Anaesthesia

Local anaesthesia is provided to keep the procedure comfortable throughout the treatment.

Root-End Removal

Surgical access is made through a small gum incision and the infected root end and surrounding tissue are carefully removed.

Cleaning & Sealing

The affected area is cleaned and the root canal end is sealed to help prevent further infection.

Suturing & Aftercare

The area is sutured as required and clear aftercare instructions are provided to support comfortable healing.

Root-End Surgery to Help Preserve Your Tooth

When infection persists after root canal treatment, an apicoectomy can provide access to the root tip and infected surrounding tissue without removing the entire tooth.

The procedure involves removing the infected root end, cleaning the affected area and sealing the root canal end. When performed on suitable cases, it can help preserve the natural tooth and maintain normal function for many years.
