Endodontic Surgery

MODERN ENDODONTIC SURGERY UNDER SURGICAL MICROSCOPE

 

A root surgery, also known as retrograde root canal treatment, is an endodontic surgical procedure whereby a tooth’s root tip is removed and a root end cavity is prepared and filled with a biocompatible material.  This is usually necessitated when a conventional root canal therapy had failed and a re-treatment was already unsuccessful or is not advised. 

 

Piezosurgery and motorized Root Canal Therapy results in more effective root canal treatment than the traditional system. It is also faster and has less complications.
