What Is Apicoectomy?
An apicoectomy is a specialized dental procedure designed to treat persistent infections at the tip of a tooth root that cannot be resolved through a standard root canal. Unlike a full root canal, which removes the entire pulp of the tooth, an apicoectomy only removes the infected tip of the root. The area is then meticulously cleaned and sealed to prevent further infection. This precise approach helps preserve more of your natural tooth structure and allows for the potential regeneration of the pulp.

Benefits of Apicoectomy
- Preserves Natural Tooth Structure: By removing only the infected tip of the root, an apicoectomy helps retain more of your natural tooth, which is crucial for maintaining proper dental function and alignment.
- Targets Persistent Infections: This procedure effectively addresses infections that remain after a root canal, providing targeted treatment and improving long-term outcomes.
- Potential for Pulp Regeneration: By focusing on the infected portion of the root, there is a possibility for the pulp to regenerate, enhancing the tooth’s ability to heal and function.
