Endodontic Surgery is an operation that embodies the removal of infection in the pulp cavity and the correction of tooth root canals.
A second root canal treatment can be applied to patients who have had root canal treatment before but whose dental problems have not improved, or an endodontic operation can also be performed.
For example, if there is a chronic infection, re-root canal treatment may not be preferred.
The condition of the tooth and gum, and the doctor's decision are decisive at this point.
There are various reasons for needing endodontic surgery. Here are the prominent factors:
It can be applied to teeth undergoing root canal treatment but not fully healed, or to teeth infected after root canal treatment. These 2 reasons represent the most common causes of endodontic surgery.
Root canals can be narrowed due to plaques and this problem can restrain using non-surgical medical instruments for operations.
Endodontic Surgery may be preferred to clean the root canal. It can be done to repair the damaged surrounding dentin.
The most common operation performed to save the tooth is called an apicoectomy. As a short answer to the question "What is an apicoectomy", it can be said that this is a special method that comes into play when root canal treatment does not solve the dental tissue problem. If severe tooth inflammation in the tip or dentin continues after root canal treatment, the process continues with Apicoectomy.
The endodontist opens the gum and reaches the dentin. It removes the infected tissue and root tip around here. Relevant areas heal after a few months. The operated root canal tip can be filled with special dental fillers and then it is sutured. In addition, replantation, root-resection and root repair applications can also be made. In the replantation treatment, the infected tooth is extracted, after the area is cleaned and treated, tooth is placed back meticulously.
In order for the endodontic surgery healing process to go well, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendations and to be careful about post-operative care factors. Doing what is necessary will speed up the healing process. Before endodontic surgery, the patient's medical history is listened, the recovery status of the tooth is checked, x-rays are taken. The endodontist informs the patient about the pre- and post-operative period. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia.
During the post operative care period, patients may experience various side effects. In the first stage after surgery, swelling may occur, and the patient may feel discomfort. These effects will go away simultaneously with the healing of the teeth. To reduce the pain, the doctor prescribes painkillers. 1 day after the procedure, the patient returns to his or her daily life. Of course, this explained process may vary depending on the patient's condition. It can also be decided to apply different endodontic methods.
Each condition is evaluated individually. Because of this, endodontic surgery prices can vary too. A different pre-operation may be required, the extent of the endodontic procedure may differ. You need to talk to experienced dentist to get clear information about the cost of endodontic surgery.
The main purpose of endodontic surgery is to save the natural tooth. When this is not possible, extraction comes into play. Treatments such as fixed prosthesis and removable prosthesis can be considered.
Regional swelling and pain are experienced mostly. The severity of these effects gradually increases. However, in some cases, endodontic problems can progress without symptoms. Regular dental control is important in this regard.
The endodontic evaluation determines whether an endodontic problem exist. Various examinations are completed quickly thanks to medical technologies such as radiological imaging or x-ray.
