Apicectomy |
|
Apicectomy is a surgical proceedure designed to remove infection or other pathology from around the end of the root of a tooth. It is usually carried out when a normal root filling has failed or is impractical. The problem area is reached via a surgical incision in the gum and drilling away a small amount of bone. The problem area is then dealt with and the gum replaced and held in place with sutures. The proceedure is usually carried out under a local anaesthetic and is usually painless. There is usually some pain and swelling in the first few days following surgery but healing is usually complete within a week. 1. The skin is gently lifted from the bone
2. A small hole is made in the bone over the root of the tooth
3. The problem area is removed and the end of the root is sealed
4. The gum is replaced with sutures and healing is complete within 1 week |
