Apicoectomy

It extends the lifespan of natural teeth by thoroughly removing damaged tooth root tips, contaminated nerve canals, and inflammation.

My gums are swollen and painful even though I had root canal treatment.

Will it get better if I just scrape out the nerve of the gum abscess that suddenly appeared?

[ Apicoectomy: The Last Resort to Save Natural Teeth ]

The presence of a pus pocket in the gums suggests that the causative factor likely lies outside the root canal. Therefore, treatment involving scraping out inflammation at the root tip provides only temporary relief and is unlikely to be sustainable. Natural teeth can be preserved through apical resection, a procedure that involves removing the infected root canal filling material and the tooth root, followed by a thorough sealing of the root canal.

This is needed for people like this!

In cases where symptoms persist or inflammation at the root tip has occurred despite retreatment.

Cases where retreatment is impossible due to a blocked root canal or a significantly curved root

If there are unremovable posts or crown restorations on the teeth

If there is a cyst at the root tip or the lesion is larger than a certain size

Apicoectomy, a rare procedure; K Dental Clinic, staying true to the basics

Once damaged, teeth cannot be restored. Furthermore, apical resection, which preserves dying natural teeth, is a highly complex procedure requiring the surgeon's skill and extensive clinical expertise. Rather than chasing immediate profit by recommending lucrative treatments, we will recommend only those treatments that are absolutely necessary based on objective indicators. K Dental Clinic is confident in its services. We will provide treatment with our conscience on the line.

3 Key Points to Enhance the Completeness of Treatment

High-definition digital equipment that enhances diagnostic reliability

Good medical equipment that helps medical staff demonstrate their skills

Thorough treatment to prevent symptom recurrence

We precisely determine the validity of treatment through high-definition digital diagnosis.

Before performing an apical resection, the location and size of the inflammation must be analyzed using high-definition X-rays to establish a surgical plan.

The Key to Apicoectomy: 'Precision' and the Synergy of Microscope and Laser Treatment

Microscope

You can examine thin root canals with a diameter of 0.2 to 0.4 mm and surrounding tissues, which are difficult to see with the naked eye, more clearly and precisely.

Laser nerve canal treatment

Optical fibers directly sterilize harmful bacteria deep within the nerve canal and promote tissue regeneration and healing, shortening the treatment period and preventing the recurrence of inflammation.

We adhere to the principle of meticulous excision and finishing to prevent repeated failures.

If the tip 3mm of the root is not properly excised or MTA treatment is not performed correctly, it is difficult to expect a good prognosis. Meticulous finishing right to the end is the key to success.

Precise resection of the apical 3mm, the site of inflammation

If the root tip is resected unevenly, recurrence may occur. We precisely resect the 3mm of the tooth root tip (apex), which accounts for 90% of inflammation due to anatomical structure.

Cleanse hidden bacteria and inflamed tissue

To prevent recurrence of inflammation, we thoroughly remove the lesion with a special laser and perform meticulous sterilization to inhibit bacteria and promote healing.

Thorough sealing with MTA, a biocompatible material

Recurrence is prevented by thoroughly sealing the inflamed and sterilized root canal with MTA. Even if bacteria remain in the root canal, it will heal with bone.

Treatment Process Guide

We precisely diagnose the lesion area.

After examining inflammation near the tooth root (periapical) with a microscope, the gum is incised to remove inflammation and lesions from the tooth root and alveolar bone.

After removing the contaminated root and tissue, seal the root tip with MTA.

Finish after micro-suturing.

Is treating only periodontal disease the end of it? Periodontal disease is the main culprit behind various systemic diseases.
