About apicoectomy

An apicoectomy (root-end resection) is an endodontic microsurgical procedure where the tip of the tooth root (apex) is removed along with any infected tissue. A small filling is placed at the root end to seal it. This procedure is performed when conventional root canal treatment or retreatment has failed or is not feasible.
