Endodontic Microsurgery/Apicoectomy In Boynton Beach
Endodontic microsurgery is a precise and minimally invasive method to save teeth that have recurrent or persistent infections, for relief that lasts.
What is endodontic microsurgery?
Endodontic microsurgery restores the most complex areas of your damaged tooth using advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment. This means that even the tiniest canals and areas of your tooth can be accessed and treated, making it possible to save teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted.
The Endodontic Microsurgery Process
Access and Cleaning
Access and Cleaning
The first step of endodontic microsurgery is to access the affected area of the tooth. This is typically done by making a small incision in the gum tissue to expose the tooth and its roots. The endodontist will then use specialized equipment to carefully clean and disinfect the area, removing any infected or inflamed tissue.
Repair and Seal
Repair and Seal
After the area has been thoroughly cleaned, the endodontist will repair any damage and seal the roots of the tooth. This may involve filling or sealing any cracked or damaged roots, or placing a small filling at the apex of the root to seal the area and prevent further infection.
Closure and Recovery
Closure and Recovery
The final step of endodontic microsurgery is to close the incision in the gum tissue and allow the area to heal. This typically involves suturing the incision closed and placing a temporary filling in the tooth. You will then need to return for follow-up care to monitor the healing process and ensure that the tooth is functioning properly.
