What is an Apicoectomy?

A root end resection which is also called as an apicoectomy. This procedure is done to save the end of the root and remove the infection and reduce inflammation. The work ‘apico’ means the end of the tooth root and ectomy means removal of the root end.  Thus, the name root end procedure.  This procedure is also often called as retrograde root canal or root end filling.  Root end procedure in Mumbai is a type of peri

The root end procedure is an endodontic surgery to remove root tip of the tooth and root end cavity is filled by the biocompatible material. It is a periradicular surgery and is recommend by top endodontist in Mumbai when the root canal has failed and the inflammation and infection in the bony area round the tooth root has flared up and giving pain to the patient and causing bleeding and swelling of gums.

Symptoms of Root-Canal Therapy failure

The symptoms of failure of root canal treatment may differ from person to person. In few cases, there may be no symptom. However, if you have had a root canal treatment in the past then top endodontist in Mumbai recommend to look out for a following symptoms if you are facing problems in the treated area:

• Pain or toothache; it is the most common symptom, which is usually noticed first. The pain usually continues to grow after the treatment or returns after recovery and becomes a persistent ache.
• Hyper sensitivity or sensitivity of the tooth and difficulty in eating even warm and room temperature foods.
• Swelling or inflammation of gums and they are tender on touch.
• Pus discharge from the gum near the treated tooth.
• Discoloration of the treated teeth.
• A blister appears inside the mouth.
• Tooth mobility increases and it feels loose.

Top endodontists in Mumbai will examine the treated tooth and take and x-ray to see if there is an infection inside the gums to determine if there has been root canal treatment. There are two options to correct the failed root canal and these include a re-root canal treatment or an apicoectomy in Mumbai.

What is the difference between Root-Canal therapy and an Apicoectomy?

A root canal treatment and apicoectomy or root end procedure both aim to preserve the infected tooth and prevent further day. However, the   both procedures should not be confused with each other because they have the following differences:

• Root canal therapy is non-surgical procedure, while apicoectomy is the surgical procedure which needs access to the gum line and the jaw bone.
• RCT is used to treat the damage or infection within the pulp of the tooth, while the root end procedure is done when infection accumulates in bone area which surround the root end.
• Root canal treatment takes place on part above the gum line that is crown part, from which we chew with, while an apicoectomy takes place on the root of the tooth.
• In case of root canal, access and removal of the infected pulp occurs through the crown of the tooth, while in apicoectomy infected tissue is accessed via tip of the root called apex and do the filling to avoid the further infection.

If you have pain on your previously root canal treated tooth, your then best endodontist in Mumbai will give you two options to decide if your tooth requires a root end resection of root canal retreatment.

Why is a Root end procedure done?

Root end procedure in Mumbai is a type of minor endodontic surgery that is done by top dentist in Mumbai when the traditional root canal treatment as failed to remove the infection and give the much needed relieve to the tooth.  The dead nerve and infected tissues remain preserved around the bone area surrounding the tooth causing re-infection and problems near the root tip.  If re-root canal treatment is not possible then the root end procedure in Mumbai is the only option for the endodontist.

Another point that top endodontist in Mumbai consider for correct the root tip infection is if there is a part of the bridge or the crown that will be affected i.e., will need to be cut down for the re-root canal therapy then the root end procedure is used as a preferred option.

Another reason could also be that a canal is inaccessible or blocked, there is an anatomical irregularity or fracture or a crack in the tooth’s root.
