APICOECTOMY An apicoectomy is the most common endodontic surgical procedure. This procedure is used to remove infection or inflammation from the bony area around the end of your tooth. SURGICAL OPERATING MICROSCOPES Endodontic Associates is proud to be a pioneer in the use of the surgical operating microscope. The surgical operating microscope provides increased magnification and properly focused light which allows Doctors to view areas that otherwise would not be seen during conventional endodontic surgery. Using the microscope we can now anticipate an even higher degree of clinical success. Endodontic surgery, performed with a surgical operating microscope, requires advanced training and many hours of experience. ENDODONTIC SURGERY An opening is made in the gum tissue near the region of the tooth. Quite often inflamed or infected tissue will be removed and a biopsy taken. A small filling may be placed to seal the end of the root. Several stitches are then placed and healing generally proceeds without complications. With the use of modern local anesthetics, endodontic surgery usually involves little to no discomfort.
