Detailed Information About Apicoectomy
Apicoectomy (root-end surgery) is a surgical treatment method applied to teeth with an infection at the root apex that does not fully heal with root canal treatment. In this procedure, the infected area at the tip of the tooth root is cleaned, and the root end is resected and prepared in a controlled manner. The goal is to retain the tooth in the mouth without extraction and prevent the infection from spreading to surrounding tissues.
Apicoectomy treatment can be considered especially in cases where root canal treatment has been previously performed, but an unhealed lesion remains at the root apex. A radiological examination is performed before treatment to evaluate the restorable status of the tooth. It is an important surgical option that helps keep the natural tooth in the mouth in appropriate cases.
