Key features of apicoectomy treatment in Dubai

What is an apicoectomy?

An apicoectomy, or root end surgery, is a specialised dental procedure designed to remove the tip of a tooth’s root and surrounding infected tissue.

Purpose

This procedure is typically recommended when a conventional root canal treatment has failed or is not feasible. It aims to eliminate infection in the root area and save the tooth from extraction.

Procedure details

The surgery involves making a small incision in the gum near the affected tooth to expose the underlying bone and remove the infected part of the root. After removing the root tip and infected tissue, the end of the root is sealed with a small filling to prevent future infections.

Use of microsurgery techniques

Apicoectomy is often performed using microsurgical techniques, including a dental operating microscope, for enhanced precision and success.

Recovery and aftercare

The procedure generally has a high success rate and involves a recovery period where patients may experience mild discomfort, managed with prescribed pain medication.

Proper aftercare, including oral hygiene and follow-up visits, is crucial for successful healing.

When it's performed

An apicoectomy is a last resort to save a tooth that cannot be treated successfully with repeated root canal therapy.

Why choose Oval Dental Clinic for apicoectomy in Dubai?

Standard root canal

A standard root canal removes infected pulp from a single-rooted tooth to eliminate pain and preserve the tooth’s structure.

Complex root canal

Complex root canals are performed on teeth with multiple roots, addressing infections or inflammation in a more intricate root system.

Re-treatment

Re-treatment involves the reopening and cleaning a previously treated root canal if issues persist or reoccur.

Apicoectomy

Apicoectomy is a surgical approach involving the removal of the tooth’s apex (root tip) to address persistent issues after standard root canal treatment.

Apicoectomy procedure details

We employ advanced techniques in tooth extraction surgery. This includes using dental operating microscopes for enhanced precision and ensuring the highest accuracy during the procedure.

Initial consultation

The apicoectomy treatment at Oval Dental Clinic begins with an in-depth consultation. Patients are evaluated for suitability for the surgery, particularly when other forms of surgical tooth extraction have not resolved the issue. This consultation includes reviewing the patient’s dental history and conducting necessary imaging studies.

Preparation for surgery

Before the tooth extraction operation, the patient is prepared for the procedure. This preparation typically involves applying local anaesthesia to numb the area, ensuring a pain-free experience during the surgery.

Incision and exposure

The oral surgeon makes a small incision in the gum tissue near the affected tooth to expose the underlying bone and the root tip.

Removal of infected tissue

The infected or inflamed tissue around the root tip and the end of the root are carefully removed.

Root end filling

After the removal, the root canal is cleaned and sealed with a small filling to prevent reinfection.

Suture placement

The gum is then sutured back into place to facilitate healing.

Duration of the procedure

The duration of an apicoectomy treatment at our clinic typically ranges from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the case’s complexity.

Recovery and aftercare

Post-surgery, patients may experience mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising, which is normal and manageable with prescribed medication. Recovery usually takes a few days, with patients advised to avoid strenuous activities and adhere to specific dietary restrictions for a short period.

Follow-up care

Our team schedules follow-up visits to monitor healing and address any concerns. These appointments are crucial to ensure the success of the surgery and the patient’s overall oral health.
