Q1. What is an apicoectomy?

An apicoectomy is a minor surgical endodontic procedure that removes the tip of a tooth root and surrounding infected tissue.

It may be recommended when infection or inflammation remains around the root tip after a previous root canal treatment or when retreatment is not a suitable option.

The procedure is performed with local anesthesia to help keep you comfortable. Some swelling or tenderness may occur afterward as the area heals.

In appropriate cases, an apicoectomy can help treat persistent infection while allowing the natural tooth to remain in place.

Your endodontist will provide aftercare instructions to support healing. Follow-up may be recommended to monitor the treated area and confirm proper healing.
