About Apicoectomy

An apicoectomy, also known as root-end surgery, is a specialized dental surgical procedure performed when a standard root canal treatment is insufficient to resolve an infection or inflammation at the tip (apex) of a tooth's root. During this minor oral surgery, the endodontist or oral surgeon makes a small incision in the gum to access the underlying bone and the infected root tip. The inflamed tissue is removed, along with the very end of the tooth's root. A small filling is then placed to seal the root canal, preventing future infection. This procedure is a crucial tooth-saving alternative to extraction, designed to preserve your natural tooth and restore oral health.

A fractured root tip that is causing ongoing problems.
When re-treating a previous root canal is not feasible or has failed.

Take all prescribed medications, such as pain relievers and antibiotics, as directed.
Eat soft foods and avoid chewing on the treated side of your mouth for several days.
Maintain oral hygiene gently; avoid brushing the surgical site directly for the first day, then rinse with warm salt water.
Avoid strenuous activity, smoking, and drinking through a straw for at least 48-72 hours.
Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor healing, typically involving an X-ray after 6 months.
