Endodontic Surgery (Apicoectomy) in DHA Phase 4, Lahore
The Last Resort to Save Your Tooth.
When a root canal fails and a regular retreatment isn't possible (e.g., if there is a long post in the tooth), an Apicoectomy is the answer. This is a microsurgical procedure performed by our specialist to remove the infection directly from the tip of the root.
Why Choose Us for Surgery?
This is a delicate procedure requiring surgical expertise. Asst. Prof. Dr. Islam Haider and Prof. Dr. Ayyaz Ali Khan collaborate on these cases to ensure precise removal of the cyst or infection while preserving the jawbone.
What is an Apicoectomy?
Also known as "Root End Surgery."
- The Procedure: We make a small incision in the gum to access the bone. We remove the infected tissue and the very tip of the tooth root.
- The Seal: A small filling is placed at the end of the root to seal it from the bottom.
- Healing: The bone heals around the root over the next few months.
Is This Right for You?
- You have persistent inflammation or a cyst at the root tip.
- Your tooth has a crown or post that cannot be removed for regular retreatment.
- You want to avoid extraction and an implant.
Our Process at our Sector DD Clinic
- Planning: We use CBCT scans to see the exact size of the infection.
- Microsurgery: Under local anesthesia, we perform the procedure in about 60-90 minutes.
- Sutures: We place a few small stitches in the gum.
- Recovery: Most patients return to work the next day with mild OTC pain medication.
FAQs About Apicoectomy
Is it painful?
You are numb during the surgery. Afterwards, there may be some swelling and bruising, similar to an extraction, but it heals quickly.
What is the success rate?
When performed by a specialist, it is very high (over 90%), allowing you to keep your natural tooth for many more years.
Will I need a new crown?
Usually, no! One of the main benefits is that we don't have to touch your existing crown.
