What is Apex Resection?

Apex resection, also known as root resection, is a dental treatment used to prevent and fix bone loss injury, or damaged root apexes. The root apex is the part of the tooth attached to the jawbone.

 

Apex resection is also used to remove any inflammation, bacteria, and infection from the pulp and bottom part of the tooth and jawline preventing any damage from forming.

 

The bottom portion of the tooth is called the apex and the top of the tooth is referred to as the crown. Root resection procedures are commonly mistaken as root canal treatments.

 

Root canal treatments focus on blood vessels and nerves that are located inside of the tooth. Root receptions help remove damaged portions of the bottom portion of the tooth found in the gum line.

 

A Good Candidate for Apex Resection

Individuals bothered by infection or problems caused by damaged and/or injured roots can benefit from the apex root resection procedure. Root resections are best for those suffering from damage to teeth sharing common roots.

 

Treatment for Apex Resection

An Apex root resection procedure is generally performed under local anesthetic. An incision is made near the affected tooth and gum surrounding the apex. The oral surgeon drills a hole into the root of the tooth to reach the infection. The dental surgeon flushes the area with a sterile solution of saline and the holes in the tooth root are filled.

 

Risks and Side Effects of Apex Resection

Risks and Side Effects include:

 

· Inflammation around the root apex does not heal

· Cold sores on the lips

· Damage to the gum

· Swelling around the face after the operation

 

Recovery from Apex Resection

Following surgery, an individual will often be offered a mild pain medication and a prescription for antibiotics, which should be taken for the entire healing course to ensure adequate healing.

 

Mild discomfort, slight bleeding and swelling may be experienced for a day or two. Patients are cautioned against chewing on the affected side of the mouth until stitches have been removed, which may range from 7 to 10 days.

 

Results of Apex Resection

Although pain can last for a couple of days, it is important to keep in mind that once fully recovered pain will be eliminated from the teeth, gums, and jaw. A root resection will give you major relief, however it is most important to keep up with good dental hygiene after the procedure.
