What is apicoectomy?

If the tooth does not heal even after precise root canal treatment, some dental clinics may have no choice but to extract the tooth.At our clinic, we may be able to save your tooth by performing an apicoectomy.

What is "Apicoectomy"?Surgery to remove a radicular cyst, a pus-filled sac at the tip of the tooth rootIn normal root canal treatment, the contaminated area in the root canal is approached from the occlusal surface (the surface that bites) of the tooth.The gums are incised and the tip of the root is cut directlyThis allows us to remove the area that is causing the problem more reliably. The process of filling the root canal with medicine after the treatment is also the opposite of normal root canal treatment, and the filling starts from the tip of the root (reverse root canal filling).
