Apicectomy

What is an Apicectomy?

An apicectomy is a dental procedure that treats the root of an infected or inflamed tooth. During an apicectomy, the dentist removes the infected portion of the tooth’s root and fills the root canal treated tooth with a sealing material. This procedure helps prevent the infection and saves the tooth from extraction.

Apicectomy Procedure

The apicectomy procedure involves the following steps:

  • Local anesthesia: The area is numbed to ensure patient comfort.
  • Incision: A small incision is made in the gum to access the tooth’s root.
  • Bone removal: A small amount of bone is removed to expose the root tip.
  • Root end removal: The infected part of the root is removed.
  • Filling: A sealing material is used to fill the root canal.
  • Stitches: The gum is closed with stitches.

Common FAQs About Apicectomy

Discomfort is expected after the procedure, but modern anesthesia techniques minimize pain.
Most patients recover within a week, but healing can take several weeks.
A soft diet is recommended for the first few days for the surgical area to heal.
In some cases, a crown may be necessary to strengthen the tooth.
Any surgical procedure carries inherent risks, including the possibility of infection and nerve damage.

Apicectomy is a highly successful procedure that can save a tooth from extraction. If you experience persistent pain or discomfort after a root canal, Dental De Care Koramangala and Indiranagar have expert dentists who provide effective root-end surgery for tooth preservation.
