Root Apex Resection in Litomyšl

Effective surgical solution to save infected teeth in Nova Smile Dental Clinic

At Nova Smile Dental Clinic, we perform professional and gentle root apex resections in Litomyšl (also known as apicoectomy) to preserve teeth that cannot be healed by standard root canal treatment alone. This precise surgical procedure removes infection directly from the root tip, helping you keep your natural tooth and restore comfort quickly.

Our experienced dentists provide trusted care for patients from Litomyšl, Svitavy, and the wider Pardubice region.

What Is Root Apex Resection (Apicoectomy)?

Root apex resection is a minor oral surgery procedure used when a tooth infection persists or returns after traditional root canal therapy. During this treatment, we carefully remove the infected root tip (apex) and surrounding inflamed tissues to eliminate infection and restore the health of your tooth.

When Is Apicoectomy Necessary?

We recommend root apex resection if:

  • A tooth remains painful or infected after standard root canal treatment

  • Infection recurs despite repeated endodontic therapy

  • A cyst or inflammation is detected around the root tip

  • Root canal retreatment is impossible due to structural reasons (for example, blocked or curved canals)

How Is the Procedure Performed?

  • Local anesthesia to ensure complete comfort.

  • A small incision is made in the gum near the affected tooth.

  • The infected root tip is carefully removed along with inflamed tissue.

  • The root tip is sealed with a special biocompatible material to prevent future infection.

  • Dissolvable stitches are placed for quick, comfortable healing.

Benefits of Root Apex Resection

  • Eliminates persistent infections and prevents tooth extraction

  • High success rate – preserves natural teeth for many years

  • Quick, comfortable procedure under local anesthesia

  • Fast recovery – most patients return to normal activities within a few days

Aftercare and Recovery

We’ll provide clear aftercare instructions, possibly prescribe antibiotics, and schedule a follow-up to ensure effective healing. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and quick recovery after the procedure.
