Apical Resection Surgery: Expert Endodontic Treatment in Tirana
Are you experiencing persistent tooth pain despite having root canal treatment? Apical resection surgery at Tirana Dental Center might be the solution you need. Our experienced surgeon, Dr. Ardian Skendaj, specializes in this advanced endodontic procedure.
What is Apical Resection Surgery?
Apical resection is an advanced surgical procedure designed to save your natural tooth when conventional root canal treatment isn’t sufficient. This precise microsurgical technique involves removing the infected root tip and surrounding damaged tissue, followed by sealing the root end to prevent future infection.
When is Apical Resection Necessary?
- Failed root canal treatment or retreatment
- Persistent cysts or infections at the root tip
- Curved or fractured roots
- Blocked canals or broken instruments in the canal
- Complex root anatomy preventing traditional treatment
