Female Focus Save your teeth! Even if you don´t believe in the tooth fairy!
These days root canal treatment is one of the most common procedures performed in the dental surgery, and usually with a very high rate of success.
Where untreated tooth decay has gone a long way towards the inside of the tooth, the dental nerve may need to be completely removed in order to relieve the pain or infection, or both.
However, it is actually very common for such a serious infection to have reached into the bone itself, causing areas of bone to be destroyed around the tooth's root. If this is the case sometimes traditional root canal treatment by going through the tooth may not be enough, because afterwards the patient might still experience pain in the tooth. In this case traditionally the procedure might have to be repeated once more, or even a couple of times, until the decay and infection around the tooth root is fully eliminated.
Nowadays in these cases, when conventional root canal treatment has failed, or it is undesirable to repeat the treatment for any reason, we can perform Endodontic Surgery to save the tooth and prevent having to take it out.
Apicoectomy or endodontic surgery consists of the direct elimination of the infected area around the root. Instead of going through the tooth, an incision is made into the patient’s gum and all the infection and a small part of the root are removed directly. The advantage of this method is that with the infection completely removed the healing process can happen more easily and the bone can regenerate around the root. This technique is extremely effective, and when necessary can very often solve the problem and prevent the need to remove the tooth.
