What is Endodontic Surgery
Endodontic surgery is performed when standard root canal treatment or retreatment is not enough to heal a tooth. The goal of this procedure is to remove any remaining infection or damaged tissue from the root tip and surrounding area.
The most common type of endodontic surgery is called an apicoectomy, where the tip of the tooth's root is removed and sealed to prevent infection. This surgery can be done on both front and back teeth, offering a safe and effective way to save the tooth.
When is Endodontic Surgery Needed
- Persistent Infection: If an infection continues after a root canal, surgery may be needed to remove the infection from the root tip.
- Tooth Fractures: In some cases, a fracture or crack in the root can prevent healing.
- Blocked or Missed Canals: If there are hidden canals that were not detected or treated in the initial root canal procedure, surgery may help access and treat them.
- Failed Retreatment: If previous treatments haven’t resolved the issue, surgery can remove the remaining infection or seal the tooth to prevent further complications.
Benefits of Endodontic Surgery
Saves Your Tooth: Endodontic surgery offers a chance to preserve a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted.
Relieves Pain and Discomfort: By addressing infections or fractures that were not fully treated, the surgery eliminates pain and restores comfort.
Prevents Further Complications: Surgery can prevent the spread of infection to surrounding tissues, saving both the tooth and the health of your smile.
Minimally Invasive: The surgery is done with precision and minimal disruption to the surrounding tissue, leading to faster recovery times.
