What is Apicoectomy?

Apicoectomy, also known as root-end surgery, is a specialized dental procedure performed to treat infections or inflammation in the root tip (apex) of a tooth. When a root canal treatment fails to completely resolve the infection, an apicoectomy becomes necessary to remove the infected tissue and the tip of the root. The procedure involves accessing the root tip through a small incision in the gum tissue near the affected tooth. The infected tissue is removed, and the root tip is sealed to prevent further infection. Apicoectomy is a conservative and effective approach to save a tooth and eliminate persistent dental infections.
