Smile Gallery: Endodontic Surgery (Apicoectomies)

Apicoectomy or root-end resection is a surgical procedure done on a tooth that has persistent inflammation or infection in the bony area around the end of the tooth after root canal procedure

The ends of the roots (apices) have been shortened, the bone has been manually cleaned and the ends of the roots have been filled or plugged with a biocompatible sealer (MTA). This will help the bone regenerate.
