Apicectomy

Dental apicectomy or apical resection is a surgical procedure to remove part of the root of an infected tooth. It is usually indicated when a dental infection does not heal after a root treatment or after a resumption of root treatment, in order to avoid tooth extraction.

 

The process of an apicectomy

  • Anesthesia : Before starting the procedure, the dentist will anesthetize you to make sure you won’t feel any pain.
  • Mucosa incision and bone access cavity to access the infected root.
  • Removal of the infected apex (root tip): The dentist will remove the infection using special instruments to remove the infected part of the root.
  • Space filling: Once the infection is removed, the dentist will fill the empty space with a special filler.
  • Sutures: The dentist will close the wound using stitches to hold the mucosa in place during healing.

 Post-operative care

After a dental apicoectomy, you may experience pain and discomfort for a few days. Your dentist will prescribe pain-relief medications and provide guidance on how to care for your tooth during the healing period. It is important to follow your dentist’s instructions to ensure a quick and complication-free recovery.

Follow-up after a dental apicoectomy may include check-up visits and X-rays to assess the condition of the tooth and ensure it is healing properly.

Is dental apicoectomy painful?

The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the procedure itself. After the surgery, you may experience some discomfort, but this can be managed with pain-relieving medications prescribed by your dentist.
