When conventional root canal treatments prove insufficient, Dr. Vishnupriya may recommend an apicectomy as the next step in your optimal dental care.
What is an Apicectomy? An apicectomy, also known as root-end surgery, is a minor surgical procedure that involves removing the tip of the tooth’s root. This treatment is considered when cysts or infections persist after root canal treatment or re-treatment, and when standard methods fail to disinfect and seal the root tip effectively.
The Procedure:
At Amma Naana Dental Clinic, we perform this procedure with precision and care, using advanced techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes. Dr. Vishnupriya’s expertise in endodontic surgeries allows us to offer this specialised treatment, providing a final opportunity to save your natural tooth when other treatments have been unsuccessful.
Our team will guide you through every step of the process, ensuring you’re comfortable and informed throughout your treatment journey.

At Amma Naana Dental Clinic, Dr. Vishnupriya and our expert team carefully assess each patient’s suitability for an apicectomy. This procedure is typically recommended in specific situations:
Persistent Issues After Root Canal Treatment: If you’ve undergone both initial root canal treatment and re-treatment without success, an apicectomy might be the next step.
Ongoing Pain and Inflammation: Patients experiencing continued discomfort and infection at the root, despite previous treatments, are often candidates for this procedure.
Alternative to Extraction: An apicectomy is considered as a last resort to save a tooth before extraction becomes necessary.
Complicated Root Anatomy: Some teeth have complex root structures that make traditional root canal treatments challenging, making an apicectomy a more viable option.
New Decay or Trauma: In cases where new tooth decay or damage to the canal area has occurred after initial treatment.
Prevention of Further Complications: This procedure is crucial to prevent the spread of infection to other areas of the mouth or body.
During your consultation at Amma Naana Dental Clinic, we’ll conduct a thorough examination, including advanced imaging, to determine if an apicectomy is the best course of action for your specific case. Our goal is always to provide the most effective, long-term solution for your oral health, considering all factors of your dental history and current condition.
