Apicoectomy is performed when conventional root canal treatment, or its retreatment, has failed, in order to eliminate infection affecting the tissues surrounding the root apex. In this way, only the healthy portion of the tooth is preserved and saved, whereas in the absence of this procedure, extraction of the entire tooth would be necessary.<\/p><p>Apicoectomy is a surgical procedure. X-rays are required prior to the operation, along with the appropriate medication. During the procedure, the bone is exposed and a \u201cwindow\u201d is created in the bone to allow access to the root apex, which is removed together with any pathological tissues surrounding it. This is followed by a retrograde filling of the remaining root.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d09238c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d09238c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"461\" src=\"https:\/\/dentist-komnis.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Untitled-design-4-768x461.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-8491\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dentist-komnis.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Untitled-design-4-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dentist-komnis.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Untitled-design-4-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dentist-komnis.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Untitled-design-4-1024x614.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dentist-komnis.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Untitled-design-4-1536x922.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dentist-komnis.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Untitled-design-4.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The root apex is the terminal end of a tooth\u2019s root.
