Endodontic Surgery Services

Apicoectomy is a surgical endodontic procedure in which the apical portion of a tooth root is resected, followed by removal of periapical pathology and retrograde sealing of the root canal, when conventional root canal treatment has failed or is not feasible. Indications • Persistent periapical infection after root canal therapy • Obstructed canals (calcification, broken instrument, post) • Apical cyst or granuloma not resolving with RCT • Overfilled root canal with persistent symptoms • Root perforation near apex Advantages • Eliminates persistent apical infection • Preserves natural tooth • High success when properly indicated • Immediate removal of periapical pathology Success Rate • Approximately 80–90% with modern microsurgical techniques
