Why would
I need endodontic surgery?
Generally, a root canal is all that is needed to save teeth with injured
pulp from extraction. Occasionally, this non-surgical procedure will
not be sufficient to heal the tooth and your Endodontist will recommend
surgery. Endodontic surgery can be used to locate fractures or hidden
canals that do not appear on x-rays but still manifest pain in the
tooth. Damaged root surfaces or the surrounding bone may also be treated
with this procedure. The most common surgery used to save damaged
teeth is an apicoectomy or root-end resection.
What is an Apicoectomy?
The diagram below illustrates this simple procedure. An incision is
made in the gum tissue to expose the bone and surrounding inflamed
tissue. The damaged tissue is removed along with the end of the root
tip. A root-end filling is placed to seal the canal and the gum is
sutured. The bone naturally heals around the root over a period of
months restoring full function.
Following the procedure, there may be some discomfort or slight
swelling while the incision heals. This is normal for any surgical
procedure. To alleviate any discomfort, an appropriate pain medication
will be recommended.
