Typically, a root canal is sufficient to save teeth with injured pulp from extraction. However, there are occasions when this non-surgical procedure is not enough to heal the tooth, and your endodontist may recommend surgery. Endodontic surgery can be used to find fractures or hidden canals that don’t show up on x-rays but still cause pain in the tooth. This procedure can also address damaged root surfaces or the surrounding bone. The most common surgery for saving damaged teeth is an apicoectomy, also known as a root-end resection.
An incision is made in the gum tissue to expose the bone and the inflamed surrounding tissue. The damaged tissue, along with the end of the root tip, is removed. To prevent reinfection, a root-end filling is placed, and the gum is sutured. Over the course of several months, the bone naturally heals around the root, restoring full function.
