During the Appointment

Tooth root apex resection (apicoectomy) is a complex surgical operation aimed at saving the tooth by removing the infected focus along with the root tip. It requires careful preoperative diagnostics, high surgeon qualification, and precision equipment.

The doctor performs an examination, assesses the condition of the mucosa, the presence of a fistula, inflammation, the quality of endodontic treatment, the presence of posts, and the functional value of the tooth.
A CT scan is performed to determine the size and location of the cyst or granuloma, the condition of the roots, the quality of canal filling, and the proximity to anatomically important structures.
Based on the CT scan, the surgical access, extent of intervention are planned, and the risks of damage to nerves, adjacent teeth, or the maxillary sinus are assessed.
The extent of root resection and the advisability of filling the bone defect with osteoplastic material for better regeneration are determined.
The patient is explained the course and duration of the operation, an anesthesia method (local anesthesia or sedation) is selected, and recommendations are provided.
Medications are prescribed, postoperative recommendations are provided, and follow-up visits are scheduled to assess healing and bone tissue restoration.

Advantages of Tooth Resection

1

Emergency Care for Acute Exacerbations

We accept patients with acute pain caused by exacerbation of chronic periodontitis (fistula, swelling, suppurating cyst) on the day of request, without weekends or holidays.
2

3D Planning and Microsurgical Precision

Before each resection, we always perform a computed tomography scan. This allows us to accurately determine the size of the cyst (granuloma), the length of the root, the quality of canal filling, as well as the spatial relationship of the root apex with the inferior alveolar nerve or maxillary sinus.
3

Maximum Preservation of the Tooth and Bone

Our surgeons use modern microsurgical techniques that allow removal of only the infected root apex (1-3 mm) through minimal bone access, without traumatizing healthy tooth tissues.
4

Painless Treatment Under Sedation

All interventions are performed under powerful local anesthesia, which guarantees absolute comfort. For complex cases (for example, during resection in close proximity to the maxillary sinus).
5

Comprehensive Support Until Full Recovery

After tooth resection, the patient receives detailed recommendations and individually selected medication therapy (antibiotics, painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs).

Indications for Tooth Root Apex Resection

If there is an infection in the root canals that does not respond to conventional treatment, or previously poorly treated canals, an inflammatory focus — a granuloma or cyst — forms at the root apex.
Resection becomes an alternative method of saving the tooth in cases where standard endodontic treatment (root canal retreatment) is technically impossible or impractical.
Sometimes resection is performed to eliminate the inflammatory focus before planned prosthetics (for example, preparing a tooth for a crown), when it is important to preserve its root. In addition, an indication may be a pathological change in the shape of the root apex that injures surrounding tissues, or perforation of the root wall in its apical third.
Patients come to BIOCLINIC in Lviv when they face problems that threaten tooth loss: constant or periodic pain, gum swelling, fistulas, or when standard dental treatment does not help. During the consultation, the surgeon conducts a thorough examination and a mandatory computed tomography scan to assess the size of the cyst, the condition of the tooth roots, the quality of canal filling, as well as the proximity of the pathological lesion to the maxillary sinus or inferior alveolar nerve.

Types of Surgical Interventions in Tooth Resection

Image

Classic Resection with Retrograde Filling

This method is used when the tooth's root canals have been previously treated, but an inflammatory focus (cyst or granuloma) remains at the apex. Under local anesthesia, the doctor makes a gum incision and reflects a mucoperiosteal flap, opening access to the bone. Through a small "window" in the bone tissue, the root apex is exposed and removed together with the cyst.
Image

Microsurgical Resection (Using a Microscope)

For complex root locations, when precision work near nerves is required, or for removing small instrument fragments, microsurgical technique using an operating microscope is applied. It provides multiple magnification and ideal illumination of the surgical field.
Image

Resection with Removal of a Foreign Body (Instrument Fragment)

This method is used in cases where there is a fragment of an endodontic instrument in the root canal that cannot be removed through the tooth crown, or when filling material is extruded beyond the apex and causes pain. Through surgical access, the doctor exposes the root apex, removes it along with the instrument fragment or excess material.
Image

Resection of Upper Jaw Teeth (Cystectomy with Resection)

In the upper jaw, the tooth roots are often located in close proximity to the maxillary sinus, and cysts can grow into it. The operation requires special care and mandatory preoperative 3D planning. Through minimal access, the surgeon carefully removes the root apex and cyst lining, constantly monitoring the integrity of the sinus floor.

Користуюсь послугами клініки вже рік. Завжди дуже приємні лікарі, які готові обслуговувати тривожність перед лікування, та все чітко пояснити.Дуже гарний досвід видалення 8-к попри чутливість до багатьох препаратів та купу страхів.Чістки та лікування також завжди проходило максимально уважно та дбайливо. Лікарка Горбанюк Ірина прибрала чутливість зуба, коли інші стоматологи ,впродовж 2х років, пропонували видалити здоровий нерв.
Дуже дякую пародонтологу Горбанюк Ірині за професійний підхід і турботу! Лікар уважна, все пояснює зрозуміло, лікування пройшло безболісно. Тепер мої ясна в хорошому стані, немає кровоточивості і значно зменшилась чутливість! Рекомендую Bioclinic!
Вже четвертий місяць я регулярно відвідую стоматологію Bioclinic, готуючись до встановлення брекетів)За цей час мені видалили зуби мудрості, пролікували канали та виконали реставрацію передніх зубчиків. Кожен мій візит супроводжувався уважним і турботливим ставленням лікарів-стоматологів, детальним поясненням усіх етапів лікування та відмінною якістю виконаних процедур)Наразі я дуже задоволена сервісом і якістю обслуговування стоматології та можу її сміливо вам рекомендувати👍
Я видаляла зубки мудрості в цій клініці, по рекомендації сестри. І залишилася дуже задоволена, хоча так боялася, мене калатало, бо не люблю стоматологічні процедури. Ми розмовляли з лікарем про весь процес, як все проходитиме, що він робитиме, координував мене у всіх своїх діях, заспокоював своїм спокійним тембром голоса. За годинку у мене вже не стало 2 зубів і стресу, бо після першого зуба, я зрозуміла, що мені взагалі не боляче, і вже тоді заспокоїлася. Все пройшло дуже добре, тому дякую Гедеон Миколі за турботу, і команді асистентів за вашу прекрасну роботу ❤️

Stages of Tooth Resection

By contacting BIOCLINIC with a problem of chronic inflammation near the tooth root (cyst or granuloma) that does not respond to conservative treatment or threatens tooth loss. The root apex resection operation proceeds as follows:
1

3D Diagnostics and Preoperative Planning

A mandatory stage is computed tomography (3D scan), which allows obtaining precise information about the condition of the problematic tooth: the exact size and location of the cyst (granuloma), the length and shape of the root, the quality of root canal filling, the thickness of the bone wall over the apex, as well as the spatial relationship of the inflammatory focus to vital structures.
2

Determining the Operation Tactic

Based on the CT data, the surgeon chooses the optimal intervention tactic: the extent and shape of the soft tissue incision, the location of the bone "window" for access to the root apex, the need to remove part of the root and cyst lining, the requirement for retrograde canal filling (filling from the apex side), as well as the method of filling the postoperative cavity with osteoplastic material.
3

Anesthesia and Surgical Intervention

The operation is performed under local anesthesia with modern drugs (in complex cases or with increased patient anxiety — with the use of sedation). The doctor makes a gum incision, reflects a mucoperiosteal flap, opening access to the bone.
4

Revision, Sanitation, and Bone Tissue Preservation

After removal of the root apex and cyst lining, the doctor carefully examines the cavity and rinses it with antiseptic solutions. To seal the root canal and prevent reinfection, retrograde filling with a special material (modern MTA cement) is performed through the opening in the apex.
5

Postoperative Control and Long-Term Monitoring

The patient receives detailed individual recommendations: mandatory antibiotics (to prevent infectious complications), painkillers, antiseptic baths (without active rinsing!), hygiene rules in the surgical area, diet (soft warm food), cold on the cheek on the first day, and limitation of physical activity.

Care After Tooth Resection

In the first 3–4 days, brush gently with a soft brush, avoiding the wound and sutures. Clean adjacent teeth carefully or use a cotton swab with antiseptic, especially if bone material was placed.
Do not rinse vigorously; instead, use warm antiseptic mouth baths 3–4 times daily from the day after surgery.
Take all prescribed medications, including a full course of antibiotics, to prevent infection and support bone healing.
In the first 12–24 hours, apply a cold compress to the cheek (through a cloth) for 10–15 minutes with breaks. Swelling may peak on days 2–3 and is normal.
For 7–10 days, avoid hot, hard, spicy, or acidic foods. Eat soft, warm meals, chew on the healthy side, and do not use a straw.
Attend the follow-up visit after 5–7 days for wound check and suture removal. A control X-ray is usually scheduled after 4–6 months to assess bone healing and treatment success.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Заповніть форму і ми передзвонимо для запису на консультацію

How long do the gums and bone take to heal after resection?
Primary healing of soft tissues (gums) occurs in 7-14 days, sutures are removed after 5-7 days. Swelling and minor discomfort may last 3-5 days.
Does resection always help save the tooth, or is recurrence possible?
Resection has a high success rate (85-95%) with proper patient selection and high-quality performance. However, recurrence is possible if untreated areas of infection remain in the root canals (additional canals that cannot be detected), or if the tooth has a root crack.
Is resection painful and how long does the operation take?
Modern anesthesia completely eliminates pain during the operation. You may feel slight vibration or pressure, but no pain. For patients with increased anxiety, we offer sedation (medically induced sleep).
Can a resection be performed if the tooth already has a crown or a post?
Yes, this is one of the main advantages of resection. The presence of a crown or a post is often an indication for this operation.
What are the risks when performing resection on upper and lower jaw teeth?
In the lower jaw, the main risk is damage to the inferior alveolar nerve, which can lead to temporary numbness of the lip or chin. To minimize this risk, we always use 3D planning to know the exact location of the nerve. In the upper jaw, the risk is associated with the proximity of the maxillary sinus: possible perforation of its floor. If there is a cyst growing into the sinus, the operation becomes more complicated, but our surgeons have experience in performing such interventions with perforation repair.
Is it mandatory to fill the cavity with bone material after resection?
We recommend doing this in most cases, especially if the cyst was large. After cyst removal, a cavity remains that could fill with connective tissue, but this is not an ideal option. Filling the cavity with osteoplastic material (bone substitute) stimulates regeneration of the body's own bone, accelerates healing, strengthens the tooth, and prevents jaw atrophy. This is especially important for future prosthetics or implantation, if the tooth does eventually need to be extracted in the future.
