Apicoectomies
It may happen that a root canal treatment isn’t enough to fix an inflamed tooth. In these cases, an apicoectomy might be needed. If your tooth is swollen and causing you pain after a root canal procedure, your dentist may recommend an apicoectomy. This is a relatively common dental treatment that we’ve been carrying out in our clinic for years.

What Is An Apicoectomy?
In most cases, a root canal treatment is enough to fix an inflamed, infected tooth. Generally, a tooth won’t require any further endodontic treatment after this procedure. But sometimes, teeth may become reinfected, even years after a root canal. In these cases, the best chance at saving the tooth is often an apicoectomy, or a root-end resurrection.
Endodontic surgeries are also useful for diagnostic purposes. Dentists may need to see the entire root of a tooth, and physically examine it before providing proper treatment. Treating a damaged root and the surrounding bone is often only possible through an endodontic procedure such as an apicoectomy.
