Endodontic Surgery at Cascadia Dental Studio Burnaby

Endodontic surgery, also known as apicoectomy or root-end resection, is a specialised procedure offered at Cascadia Dental Studio Burnaby to save a tooth that has a persistent infection or inflammation in the root tip. Our experienced endodontists perform this surgery with precision and care to preserve your natural smile.

When is Endodontic Surgery Necessary?

Endodontic surgery may be recommended in the following situations:

• Persistent Infection: When a root canal-treated tooth continues to have infection or inflammation despite conventional treatment.
• Complex Root Canal Anatomy: When the root canal system is complex or inaccessible through conventional root canal therapy.
• Root Fracture: When a tooth has a fractured or damaged root that cannot be treated with traditional methods.

The Endodontic Surgery Procedure

• Preparation: Before the surgery, our endodontist will perform a thorough examination and may take dental x-rays to assess the extent of the problem and plan the procedure.
• Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area around the affected tooth, ensuring your comfort during the surgery.
• Access: A small incision is made in the gum tissue to access the root tip and surrounding bone.
• Removal of Infected Tissue: The infected or inflamed tissue is removed from the tip of the root, and the root-end is reshaped to prepare for the filling.<
• Filling and Sealing: The root-end is filled with a biocompatible material, and the gum tissue is repositioned and sutured back into place.
• Healing: Over time, the bone will heal around the root-end filling, restoring the tooth’s health and stability.

Benefits of Endodontic Surgery

• Preservation of Natural Tooth: Endodontic surgery allows you to save your natural tooth rather than having it extracted.
• Effective Treatment: Endodontic surgery can resolve persistent infections and inflammation that cannot be treated with traditional root canal therapy.
• Prevents Tooth Loss: By treating the underlying issue, endodontic surgery helps prevent the need for tooth extraction and the complications associated with tooth loss.
