Endodontic surgery is a dental procedure performed to treat problems within the tooth’s root or surrounding tissues when a root canal treatment alone is not enough. It typically involves surgical access to the root of a tooth to remove infected or damaged tissue, seal the area, or treat other issues like abscesses or fractures. Common procedures include apicoectomy (removal of the tip of the root) and root-end filling to preserve the tooth and alleviate pain or infection.

Common Types of Endodontic Surgery:

Apicoectomy (Root-End Resection):
This is the most common type of endodontic surgery. It involves removing the tip (apex) of the tooth's root where an infection is present

Root-End Filling:
After the apex (tip of the root) is removed during an apicoectomy, the root is cleaned and sealed with a special filling material.

Incision and Drainage (Abscess Treatment):
If an abscess (a pocket of pus) has formed near the root, This helps to eliminate the infection.

Hemisection:
In some cases, a portion of the tooth (typically one root in a multi-rooted tooth) may need to be removed if it is severely damaged or infected. The remaining part of the tooth is preserved, and a crown may be placed to restore the tooth.

Retrograde Filling:
This involves placing a filling at the tip of the root after an apicoectomy.
