root apex resection

in the heart of Warsaw

modern approach to
tooth root resection

Sometimes, when root canal treatment is not effective, the only way to save the tooth is through root resection.

This surgical procedure involves removing diseased tissue and the root tip through access from the bone side. Then, the canal is cleaned and filled with a special cement, which is crucial for treatment success.

At Warsaw Dental Center, our endodontists specialize not only in root canal treatment but also in root resection procedures. Utilizing a microscope, microsurgical tools, and 3D planning, the success rate of such procedures can reach up to 97%, meaning even more teeth can be saved.

root apex resection at Warsaw Dental Center step by step:

Step 1: Consultation and Diagnosis
The patient undergoes an initial consultation, during which the dentist carefully evaluates the condition of the tooth and surrounding tissues using examinations such as X-rays or 3D scans.

Step 2: Treatment Planning
Based on the diagnostic results, the specialist develops a detailed plan for root apex resection, taking into account the individual needs of the patient.

Step 3: Patient Preparation
Before the procedure, the patient receives instructions for preparation, including recommendations for diet and oral hygiene.

Step 4: Anesthesia
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort and pain relief during the procedure.

Step 5: Performing the Resection
The surgeon makes a small incision in the gum to access the root apex, removes the infected tissue and part of the root, and then fills the space after resection tightly.

Step 6: Recovery
After the procedure, the patient receives postoperative care instructions, including pain management and antiseptic measures to support the healing process.

Step 7: Postoperative Check-up
A follow-up visit after the resection is recommended, during which the dentist evaluates the healing process and the effectiveness of the procedure.

At Warsaw Dental Center, we ensure that each stage of root apex resection is carried out with the utmost care and in accordance with the best dental practices, guaranteeing patients quick relief and a return to full tooth functionality.

answers the most frequently asked questions about root apex resection.

When is root apex resection necessary?

Root apex resection may be recommended in cases where conventional root canal treatment does not yield the desired results or when reinfection occurs. It is also an option for teeth with large fillings or crowns, where retreatment of the root canal may be challenging.

Is root apex resection painful?

Thanks to local anesthesia, patients do not feel pain during the procedure. After the anesthesia wears off, there may be mild discomfort and swelling, but these are usually mild and can be managed with pain medication.

How long does recovery take after root apex resection?

Most patients return to normal activities the day after the procedure. However, full tissue healing can take several weeks. It is important to follow your dentist’s instructions regarding oral hygiene and post-operative check-ups to ensure the best treatment outcomes.
