Overview

What it involves

When infection remains at the root tip after root-canal treatment, an apicectomy removes the affected tip and seals the root — helping to save the tooth.

It is a precise, minimally invasive procedure performed under magnification.

  • Saves a tooth with persistent root infection
  • Removes and seals the root tip
