ENDODONTIC SURGERY

There are many surgical procedures that can be performed to save a previous endodontically treated tooth. The most common endodontic surgery is called an apicoectomy or root-end resection. This surgery is needed when inflammation or infection persists in the bony area around the end of your tooth after a root canal procedure. 

In this microsurgical procedure, the endodontist opens the gum tissue near the tooth to see the underlying bone and removes any inflamed or infected tissue. The end of the root is then removed. A small filling may be placed to seal the end of the canal and a few stitches or sutures will be placed to help the tissue heal. 

Local anesthetics makes the procedure comfortable, and most patients return to their normal activities by the next day. Post-surgical discomfort is generally mild and over a period of months, the bone will heal around the end of the root.
