Endodontic microsurgery, also known as apical microsurgery or root-end surgery, is an advanced procedure used to save teeth with persistent or recurrent infections following conventional root canal treatment. It involves precise surgical techniques performed under high magnification using specialized instruments and operating microscopes.

Procedure overview

Thorough evaluation: A comprehensive evaluation of the tooth and surrounding tissues is conducted to determine the cause of infection or inflammation.
Surgical access: Access is gained through a small incision near the affected tooth, allowing for precise removal of infected tissue and sealing of the root tip to prevent future infection.

Benefits of endodontic microsurgery

Preservation of natural teeth: Endodontic microsurgery preserves natural teeth, promoting long-term dental health.
High success rates: The procedure boasts high success rates, offering patients a reliable solution for persistent infections.
Minimal invasiveness: Minimal invasiveness leads to faster healing and reduced post-operative discomfort.

Considerations and follow-up

Patient selection: Patient selection is crucial for the success of the procedure.
Post-operative care: Following the surgery, proper post-operative care is essential for optimal healing.
Long-term follow-up: Long-term follow-up appointments are necessary to monitor healing and ensure the success of the surgical procedure.
