The Serio Dental Endodontic Surgery – Apicectomy: Precision Care to Rescue Your Tooth’s Root

What is an Apicectomy?

An apicectomy, often referred to as endodontic surgery, is a surgical procedure aimed to remove the infected tip (apex) of a tooth root, followed by the sealing of the root end. This surgery is usually recommended when conventional root canal treatments don’t suffice.

FAQs

Why might I need an Apicectomy?

While most root canal treatments are successful, there are instances where infection might persist, especially in complex root structures. Reasons can include:

  1. Blocked or inaccessible root canals.
  2. Small branches at the side of the main canal that may remain infected.
  3. Failed prior root canal treatment.

How is an Apicectomy performed?

The procedure involves:

  1. Administering a local anesthetic.
  2. Making a small incision in the gum to expose the root.
  3. Removing the infected tissue and the root tip.
  4. Sealing the end of the root canal.
  5. Stitching the gum tissue back in place.

Is the Apicectomy procedure painful?

At Serio Dental, our priority is your comfort. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring that you remain pain-free during the surgery. Post-surgical discomfort is minimal and can usually be managed with over-the-counter painkillers.

What is the success rate of Apicectomy?

With expert hands and state-of-the-art equipment, apicectomies performed at Serio Dental have a high success rate, providing patients with relief and preserving the natural tooth structure.

How should I care for the surgical site post-procedure?

Post-operative instructions include:

  1. Avoiding rigorous rinsing for the first 24 hours.
  2. Consuming soft foods and avoiding chewing on the treated side.
  3. Following any prescribed medication regimen.
  4. Reporting any unusual symptoms or prolonged pain to our clinic.
