Apicoectomy

Root apex resection (Apicoectomy) is an endodontic operation in which the apex of the tooth root is removed, as well as the surrounding tissues if they are affected by infection. The procedure is done under local anaesthesia. The vertex is accessed by removing the gum tissue and penetrating the infection directly through the bone. The resection of the tooth is carried out under a microscope and ends with the retrograde filling of the canal.
