Apicoectomy / Root-End Surgery Package

Apicoectomy, also called root-end surgery, is a minor dental procedure used to treat infection or inflammation around the tip of a tooth root.
It may be recommended when infection continues after root canal treatment or when conventional retreatment is not suitable.
During an apicoectomy, the dentist or endodontist accesses the affected area near the root tip.
The infected tissue and a small portion of the root tip are carefully removed.
The root end is then sealed to help prevent further infection.
This procedure is generally performed under local anaesthesia.
A detailed dental examination is performed before treatment.
Dental X-rays or other imaging may be advised to assess the affected tooth and surrounding bone.
The treatment plan depends on the tooth condition and extent of infection.
An apicoectomy after root canal treatment can help address persistent infection in selected cases.
It may also be considered when a root canal cannot adequately resolve the problem.
Patients may experience mild swelling or discomfort after surgery.
Following the dentist’s post-operative instructions can support recovery.
Good oral hygiene is important during the healing period.
Follow-up appointments help the dental team monitor healing.
The procedure is intended to address the source of infection while preserving the natural tooth when appropriate.
Your dentist will explain whether root-end surgery is suitable for your condition.
Treatment recommendations vary from patient to patient.
A professional evaluation is essential before deciding on surgery.
Choose timely dental assessment if pain, swelling, or recurring infection persists.
This package is designed to support appropriate evaluation and surgical management.
Discuss your symptoms, previous root canal treatment, and dental history with the specialist.
The treatment approach will be customized according to your clinical needs.
