An apicoectomy is a microsurgery procedure on the soft tissues inside a tooth. It is designed to preserve natural teeth rather than having them pulled.
An apicoectomy is a minor dental procedure where the endodontist removes the very tip of the tooth’s root. It’s also called a root-end resection.
This procedure is well known because it can save infected teeth, rather than having them extracted. The procedure itself takes about 30-90 minutes.
