Endodontic Surgery
Endodontic surgery, also known as apicoectomy or root-end resection, is a dental procedure used to remove infected or damaged tissue from the tip of a tooth’s root. The procedure is typically performed by an endodontist (a specialist in treating problems with the tooth’s pulp) and is usually done as a last resort when a traditional root canal procedure has failed or when there is infection or damage that cannot be accessed through the tooth’s crown.

Endodontic Surgery
First, the patient will be given a local anesthetic to numb the tooth and surrounding area.
Next, an incision will be made in the gum tissue to expose the affected tooth's root.
Using a microscope or other magnifying instruments, the endodontist will locate and remove the infected or damaged tissue from the root tip.
If necessary, the endodontist may also remove any cysts or tumors that are present.
Once all the infected or damaged tissue has been removed, the root tip will be cleaned and disinfected.
The endodontist will then seal the root tip with a filling material to prevent reinfection.
Lastly, the incision in the gum tissue will be closed with sutures, and the patient will be given instructions for post-operative care.
