Apical
Resection
Apical resection is a minimally invasive dental procedure that removes infected root tissue, aiming to save the tooth and provide pain relief.
What is Apical Resection?
Apical resection, also known as root-end surgery or apicoectomy, is a dental procedure performed to treat infections or persistent issues in the root tip of a tooth. It involves removing the infected portion of the root and sealing the area to prevent further infection.
Apical resection is typically recommended when traditional root canal treatment fails to resolve the problem. During the procedure, the dentist makes a small incision near the tooth to access the root tip. The infected tissue is removed, and the root end is shaped and sealed with a biocompatible material. This helps to eliminate bacteria and promote healing.
Apical resection aims to save the tooth by addressing the infection at the source. It is a minimally invasive procedure that can provide relief from pain and prevent the spread of infection. Following apical resection, the surrounding tissues heal, and the tooth can continue to function naturally.
Procedure
Evaluation: The dentist assesses the tooth for persistent root canal issues or infections.
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia ensures a comfortable procedure.
Incision: A small incision provides access to the root tip.
Root Tip Removal: The infected portion is carefully removed.
Shaping and Sealing: The root end is shaped and sealed to prevent further infection.
Tissue Closure: The incision is closed for proper healing.
Follow-up: Monitoring the healing process ensures optimal outcomes.
Benefits of apical resection
Improved Denture Fit: Alveoloplasty enhances denture stability and comfort, ensuring a better fit for improved oral function.
Enhanced Esthetics: Reshaping the alveolar ridge improves jawline appearance and facial symmetry.
Optimal Prosthetic Support: Alveoloplasty provides proper alignment and support for dental implants or restorations.
