Even after a root canal treatment, infection can persist at the tooth's root tip. An apicoectomy removes the infected tissue and seals the root end to prevent further issues.
Sometimes, a root canal treatment alone can't resolve the problem. An apicoectomy is often the next step when inflammation or infection continues after initial treatment.
During an apicoectomy, the endodontist makes a small incision in the gum to access the root tip, removes the infected tissue, and seals the root end. This procedure is typically quick and effective.
If you're experiencing persistent dental issues, an apicoectomy might be the solution. Call Augusta Endodontic Center atÂ
